No joke, we’ve (wife’s family) have tried to get her committed several times, she knows exactly how to keep from going in.
My FIL is very old school though, what would the neighbors think of they got a divorce? Plus he is so cheap all he sees is the money side of it I think, even my wife says they should have been divorced back in the late 60’s.
Haven’t found a Dr. that will write it up for us either, even after the infamous Christmas eve suicide threat/attempt with a Daisy Red Ryder bb gun.
(even my wife looks back on that incident and agrees it would have taken a whole lot of commitment on her part to pull that one off...)
Sounds like someone needs a Valium or two ground up and slipped into her tea twice a day.
