Mabel Longhetti, desperate and lonely, is married to a Los Angeles municipal construction worker, Nick. Increasingly unstable, especially in the company of others, she craves happiness, but her extremely volatile behavior convinces Nick that she poses a danger to their family and decides to commit her to an institution for six months. Alone with a trio of kids to raise on his own, he awaits her return, which holds more than a few surprises.

There is consistent abuse throughout - I disagree with previous comment. A husband is violent and intimidating towards his wife and children on more than one occasion.

Young children are intimidated constantly, pushed/pulled around, and given alcohol by their father.

A man kisses a woman while she tells him to stop. More sinister assault is possibly implied.

it’s strongly implied that Mabel was raped, and if she wasn’t she still was in no mental state to actually realize that he wasn’t her husband so i wouldn’t really call that cheating

No, but the female lead is mentally ill (bipolar or something like it), and is at one point sent off to a mental institution. She returns very affected by the stay there, overly subdued.
