Probably leaving her family.

Abigail never dreamed of being a mother, but she became one when Susie was born. So in a way Susie is ' to blame' for Abigail not living the life she has always wanted to live. When Susie is killed, Abigail feels she is being punished for feeling this way about her first born child
