This is a sad story, the story of a woman who was left in an asylum after having a minor break-down because first her mother didn't want to have to deal with her and then later her brother didn't want to have to deal with her. Not that when she did leave that she didn't make a life for herself. It's infuriating and terribly sad a story that has the phrase "a few years passed" interspersed with a story of sanity within an insane environ.

I'm glad that things have changed but these people, mostly women, were badly injured by assumption and ignorance. This was a sane woman who received Electro-shock therapy because no-one questioned the sanity of that act. ( )
