I think she's so enraged, she wants revenge and the only way she can get it - as she sees it - is to humiliate him even more in the most public way possible.
Her explanation of why she wrote this book, why she brought all this stuff to the fore after it had died down and was no longer news, doesn't hold water for me - that she wanted her children to know her side of the story. Well, you could have written it all out for them and tucked it on a shelf where they can read it when they're older.
Instead, she's gone the public route. Clearly, money is not a consideration, since they're financially quite well off. But, I think she's had to deal with this more than once in her married life, and now that she's terminal, I think she just doesn't give a fuck and wants to bury him as deep as she can.
The woman is clearly distressed and troubled, bearing not just the burden of a terminal illness, but the results of her husband's very public betrayal of her. The dissonance I sensed about her is how she keeps blaming "the other woman" - to the point of not even allowing interviewers to use her name - and referring to that child as "it." That's hardly a sign of a woman who's made any kind of peace with what happened.
She's a woman locked in fury, and she has my pity. I can't imagine who would want to read that book.........
