Whenever one of the family pets died, mum would say they ran away.
Then she'd bury them behind the shed.
I only realised it when we went to plant some vegetables there and I accidentally dug up a hamster.
She wasn't perfect but she tried her best to raise me and my sister when dad left us.
I only found out he'd been having affairs when she got drunk one Christmas.
My sister started arguing with her around that time too.
In hindsight I know that she figured it all out before me.
Maybe I just didn't want to believe that mum was capable of doing something so cruel.
Then one day she told me my sister had run away.
That's when I figured it out.
