I've seen worse mothers than Linda in movies. She stuck up for herself and Frank as best she can. She even acknowledged the mean alcoholic person Doyle really is and we know she wants him out of her life but one thing she won't readily admit is that she is scared of him, and rightly so. Furthermore, getting a restraining order against him in that small town they live in would be useless, especially given how friendly Doyle is with the local police. That sort of thing happens A LOT in small towns, I've seen plenty of it - local troublemakers getting away with a lot of sh-- and never getting punished with it because their families are friendly with the local police force, or worse yet, have a family member that is on the police force.
