one night, it was just too much. I overheard my dad say to my mum, “One day she’ll move out and we can have our lives back.” Like it was all me. Like I was the problem, like I’d ruined his life.
Of course Suzanne would assume this was about her, under the circumstances, but actually – and she'll never know this – her dad wasn't talking about her when he said this, he was talking about Sarah, who was living with the family at the time.
