User blog comment:Fliu/About Lola and Big Mom's Relationship/@comment-25270312-20161130013225/@comment-24769684-20161130135554

Big Mom prohibited her kids from carrying Vivre Cards of her around, so that particular action makes me believe she is being truthful. Big Mom's rage seemed to take form after Lola left, and Lola getting a Vivre Card indicates more that she left in secret. Big Mom may care for her kids, but she cares about power more, which is why she marries them off without a care. And Lola subterfuting her marriage, especially since it had extra high stakes, demonstrated just how much Big Mom values power over her children.

And as for Moscato, Big Mom killed him while in a craving-induced craze. So that action wasn't influenced by her normal personality, though she is still not the best mom as I said above. And Moscato is certainly dead, as the crowd knew what Big Mom did to him and his siblings dragged his body away.
