This is a case of a 61-year old female patient, who had known nothing but unhappiness all her life. Her life events were as under:
1935: Born in Amritsar; 2nd child. Good childhood.
1955: Passed SSC. Patient not particularly interested in further studies, so after SSC sat at home.
1965: Got married. Husband turned out to be a cheat. He had earlier been married to someone else, but had not told her.
1970: Delivered a baby girl. Married life was not happy; husband was always having extramarital affairs.
1984: Husband remarried. She felt very bad and cried a lot. He did not give her any alimony, but spent a lot on their daughter, who lived with him - even gave her a car.
1986: Daughter got married. Our patient not only was not called for the marriage, but was threatened that if she did come, he would kill her.

Now feels better as she has left him and stays with sister. Says never seen good times till now. Her brother, sister and brother-in-law are very good to her.
