Apparently she really loved children and took an active role in the lives of her step daughters, and not just when they were small, but for the rest of her life. From what I've read, she actually sounds like a decent person, and felt out of place at Versailles with the intrigue and back stabbing. She was an extensive letter writer, so there is quite a lot of information about her life through those.
