I was listening to a podcast series about Dolly Parton and she talked about how back in the day this was a thing. A man could just declare his wife hysterical and have her institutionalized against her will. She wrote a song about it called Daddy Come Get Me First verse: In this mental institution, lookin' out through these iron bars How could he put me in here, how could he go that far Yes I need help but not this kind, he didn't love me from the start But it's not my mind that's broken, it's my heart Oh Daddy come and get me and take me home with you I'm depending on you Daddy, there's nothing I can do And you said that I could come to you if I ever was in need But Daddy I can't come to you, you'll have to come to me More on reddit.com
