It's hard for me to answer this without talking about the other books, but...hmmm. Her ambition and lust for power are her driving forces, with little regard to anything or anyone else, save her children. Even then, I think their being "wronged" is more of a personal affront to her, not anything to do with caring how they feel.
What cemented my dislike was when she had Lady killed. Silly, I know, but she was so bent on revenge (for something that was entirely Joffrey's fault), that she didn't care who gt the brunt of it. I'm entirely certain she would've imprisoned Arya (or worse) if she thought she could've gotten away with it. Everything after that just added to the fire.
