My great-great grandfather was apparently so emotionally abusive that she spent time at a mental hospital in Osawatomie, Kansas. My great aunt's husband was terribly abusive, and when my paternal grandfather stepped up to try to do something to help his sister, her husband and her husband's mother, both rich and vindictive people, blackballed Grandpa, so that he could not get a job as a minister again. Several of my maternal grandmother's siblings (and my grandmother) had mental issues that were not diagnosed, and they tended to make each others' lives quite painful.
