Notice here how Susannah draws a very firm line that her hallucinations aren't actually truth. Insisting that her lived experience of her time in the hospital isn't real mirrors the split between internal identity and performed identity, as hallucinations happen entirely in the brain, while actual "truth" is something that others can verify—yet both can be memories. Mom also tries to take control of her memories and rewrite her own story of what happened in order to make herself feel better.
