Madness of Mary Lincoln

[Eva Elisabeth]

Whatever she died from I'd think she was certainly multimorbid, and diabetes added to it. (And I, too, tend to believe untreated diabetes probably for years had the greatest share in her death.)
And whatever caused her mood swings and whatever those caused, I'd think she was certainly more warm-hearted and caring (from the heart, not from sense of duty) than Robert. Sometimes I am tired of the argument folks were "made" by their days - there's still common sense (and such as the ten commandments) to feel something is not right to do to others. He had her captured and locked away to get his peace of mind and get back to business without any warning - it seems cold-hearted to me whatever the times. And what about his own offspring? Except for Jack none of them (throughout all following generations) to me seemed having matched the "concept" of being "normal".
