Pretty sure Cersei treats Joffrey so well and fights for him so ardently because he's her exact mirror, except with male anatomy which gives him the capability to rise higher in power. She doesn't love her children any more than she loves herself.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I think her "love" for her children is really only an extension of her own self-love.

[(Anonymous)]

It's more of a "if it wasn't form them I'd be dead" thing, so it's kind of an obsessive love she has for them since she depends way too much on their existence. It's not self-love but isn't motherly love either.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, especially as she talked about how much she loved her kids when they were very young and still felt like part of her, then less as they got older. While she had Joffrey, Tommen was definitely a distant second to Joffrey's needs and wants (and now her grief for Joffrey is dominant) and Myrcella wasn't old enough to be any kind of threat when she was sent to Dorne.

[(Anonymous)]

I disagree. She's not a good mother, but she does love her children, even the ones that can't do anything for her--she loves Myrcella is distraught when she's sent away. Tyrion frequently notes that the only redeeming quality in Cersei is that she loves her children.
