CONTAINS SPOILERS--The only reason I rated this movie 2 instead of the 1 or 0 it truly deserved is that the acting, overall, was really well done, particularly the main character played by Teri Polo.
Here is what I would have done at the end, if my family ever, even under such dire circumstances, would have treated me in such a way. I would have acknowledged that, yes, it did keep me from my drinking and smoking. Thanks. And then I would have sued that unethical psychiatrist and the staff to the point of any financial ruin possible. I would also have taken that ring, which apparently within 5 minutes won her back, and thrown it down the nearest sewage hole on the street, filed for divorce, and told the husband he could have the "best friend," as I would never have trusted either of them again, much less in the 3 minutes it took for him to convince her that he "did it all for love." Oh, and I would have sued for, and won, total custody for putting my one living child through a month of believing I was dead. Lastly I would have gone to the police and suggested jail time for all involved, as they wasted huge sums of taxpayer money in this endeavor to again show me that I was crazy, to say nothing of a false police call involving multiple officers when she reported her situation to them after escaping.
Lastly I would have gone to the press, or possibly Lifetime Movie Network, and told my story for the world. Oh wait that part was done already:).
And I would then have gone on with my new life.
