I was thinking about how Omen and Auger both feel like they're mama's boys but then I realized that the only reason for that is because she's always accompanied by her awful husband. Whenever they show up, she's always shown to care just a little more than Caddock, if only by a small amount.
Like, yeah, their mother must feel like the only source of real love in that house, even if she's cold and distant, because the other option is a man who has managed to become one of the most arrogant, negative people in Phase 2 in under ten scenes in the books. Next to him, her words don't seem as bad, even if they are terrible on their own.
