Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
"Depressed after the death of her beloved Nana in 1954 and the birth of her second daughter in 1955, Sexton went back into therapy!. Her depression worsened, however, and during times when her husband was gone, she occasionally abused the children!. Several attempts at suicide led to intermittent institutionalization, of which her parents disapproved!. During these years, Sexton's therapist encouraged her to write!."
