In 2015, when Amy was living in California, Susan wasn't fucking with Jani's meds, and hadn't achieved her clozapine dreams for Bodhi. Susan was fully occupied with her battle with the doctors, and wasn't actively trying to fuck up Amy's life, or kill the children. From her perspective, this was maybe manageable crazy.
But within 8 months of meeting Cory, everything was off the rails in a bigger way than ever before. Susan got an accomplice, one with a sharp temper, something Susan has never had. Susan found a doctor without a conscious and very little oversight, and not only got Bodhi on massive clozapine and thorazine doses, she got Jani's meds upped to the point she pisses herself and can't stay awake in class. The new guy means Susan no longer wanted to spend all day with the kids, so off to school they go for the first time in years. This brings authorities into their lives, new people who notice something is very wrong with both children, who are obviously overdosed daily and the teachers don't feel comfortable participating in the crime. Bodhi is drugged until his little body nearly gives out, and Susan is using extreme physical punishments.
So things went downhill rapidly in the 18 months between June 2017 and January 2019. No one could have predicted it would come to this point, nor that Amy would be 9 months pregnant during the crescendo.
Poor Susan, she's still thinking she's got months for this to die down - and that she deserves to be on during May sweeps. Buckle up, buttercup: this is coming at you fast.
