I think trying to kill her children doesn't count at all. As i said, Diana will do anything in her power to prevent from ceasing existing, and Sophie's childrens and Becca's boyfriend were an obstacle as they were preventing Sophie to think about Diana, that was the only thing that kept her existing at the time, is not anything that she simply does for fun. It's ok, not all PE villains really need to be sadists, she killing her fathers is something that proves it. My problem is it that i really don't know if she has a reason from doing that, a writing problem indeed or the movie was simply trying to tell us that she is just an irreemedable insane force that will just kill because she is bad and nothing else, which is really vague.

The last reason tho? proves that she is kinda possessive and may show her having some kind of moral agency, as twisted as it is. She was trying to enter Sophie's psyche even before then, but for what? Does she knew that she would turn into a murderous ghost and she would need her? Did she wanted to make Sophie kill herself or simply turning her insane? I'll need to rewatch the movie for the fifth time and then i'll come with the conclusion.
