Being doing some research for a fanfic and it’s slowly starting to dawn on me how really, spectacularly shitty life must have been for Meredith Quill after she gave birth to Peter. It’s 1980. Here’s a baby, she’s not married, and she can’t produce the father. Can’t give the address or maybe even the last name of the father. The social stigma must’ve been huge. Meredith probably got off better than a lot of people – she was white, seems to have had a fairly supportive family (at least eventually) and maybe even had a bit of wealth, we don’t know – but man, there must have been so many nasty whispers and cruel jibes.
