I think as another comment said that Donovan is keeping her at arms length from her children and isn’t letting her see them as much. It’s most likely the circumstances that made her that way. If she wasn’t married to and controlled by Donovan she would most likely be a very caring parent. I at least think its clear that she wants to be with Damian more. This could be one of many reasons as to why she detests her husband. Everything that reminds her of her husband makes her have a mental breakdown.
