Catherine's mother clearly does not care about her daughter's well-being and agrees to her being lobotomized in exchange for the inheritance money.
Violet's relationship with Sebastian was also rather strange, obsessive and smothering at best, and there's an implication of something even further.

Throughout the entire film multiple characters call Catherine delusional or disturbed for trying to speak the truth about what happened. She is placed in a psychiatric institution and even threatened with lobotomy.

Male patients at the asylum grab Catherine and try to attack her. It's a fairly regressive portrayal.
