For months Susan believes that her mother's disappearances (visits to the hospital) are because she has another family. She is terrified her mother will leave them for good. Susan is a typical, feisty little girl, carefree one moment, angry and frightened the next. A daddy's little girl but loving her mother fiercely even when she's being told off - which is often.
