What happened that they thought you unwell and needing to get better? How old were you?
When I was around 9, my father threatened to send me away to some kind of psychiatric hospital, have me put in a strait jacket, locked up, and the key thrown away. By the grace of God/Goddess/whatever, that never happened. But I understand some of where you're coming from. And I know that places like that existed in the 70s, for children. They may well do now, though I would think increasingly less. I don't know how old you are.
