I agree, she irritated me sometimes as well, especially in the penultimate episode.
That said, her actions toward her daughter (and husband) were understandable to an extent, as she genuinely didn't believe in the supernatural stuff and was looking for a rational explanation for what she thought Amy did. She went about things the wrong way, made mistakes (as any mother, particularly when they don't have a real understanding of the situation) but she ultimately meant well.
The only character I didn't care for much was Ruth's mother-in-law. She was so callous, judgmental and cruel to someone to who had just lost her daughter. A very selfish, unforgiving woman too: more focused on how people would view her and how it would affect her life if Robert confessed, instead of allowing Ruth and Paul (who were both suffering and grieving) closure on Alice's death. I don't blame her husband for cheating on her - poor, weak bugger was probably starved for some affection.
