Yeah the truth darts are attacking because they are laced with logic and either they do not want to hear that or just the sound of it makes them cringe because as you said ... what kind of mother would walk out on her kids. There is no way to spin that even in todays social circles it would raise an eyebrow
I would guess she will run back to her tunnel, find validation in the places she can, dodge and avoid the guilt that is no doubt eating her up. You did well and maintained a sense of "Enough of your BS I am not allowing it on this side of the tracks" ..... she may lash out but I would guess she will just go dark again as she seems to do with such things.
