Its' not known when she and Durwood met. At some point, after he left Dougal county, he met and eventually married Fiona. Though she believes he enjoys her family, he has been hinted to be offended by how they treat him. His biggest annoyance was her father's jokes and how her mother checks to see if he inked where he sat. She does try to discipline and be active in her children's lives. Not when she's drinking, according to her husband. When they meet the Cuylers, she's not very fond to meet them due to Early's groping and Granny's racial slurs to her and the kids.
