I thought she was trying to forget who she was. She had given up her dreams and her whole life had turned into being a mother and looking after her kids. When one of her children is taken from her, she doesn't know who she is anymore. The fact she couldn't protect her child I guess puts into question her role as a mother. Even though the way she dealt with her grief was selfish, I could understand it and have empathy with her, and I think Susie did too.

very well put~ that is how i was thinking too~
