Have you read The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman?
If not, you might consider it. It is not going to make you happier. It is not a happy story. However, if you think you need to really delve into the issues surrounding her treatment before you can move on, it might be worth reading.
I have not, thanks for the suggestion, though. I am working on getting copies of her treatment records to better understand what happened to her and then may delve into other lives that were similarly impacted later.
Thank all.
