What do you think happened to the woman in the mental institution to leave her like that?

I believe that her problems was probably genetic. I had no idea that she was the the daughter of Laura and her father. I really thought Emmitt was the father and Laura could have been the mother.

Before we found out she was a child of incest, I assumed schizophrenia.

The problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect or be mildly mentally impaired.

I thought some kind of head trauma

Because I thought it was Laura at that time, I thought she'd just gone mad over the years - genetic weakness and abuse as a child probably being the main factors.
