I think this is just something she is trying to do to make them think so if she is guilty she can plead insanity if she would need to. I think this is another poor way that she is trying to cover her behind for the murder by saying she was taken over by Mary’s spirit. It is weak and I don’t think it would hold up in court.

I believe that she does feel bad that her children, who once really loved their father, have become bitter towards him now.
