Much has been written regarding the marriage of Constance to Oscar Wilde and I would refer readers to the many articles available via the internet which describes the turmoil which went through the family and Constance and her sons in particular. I would recommend the book by Vyvyan - "Son of Oscar Wilde" which describes vividly his life and that of his brother Cyril during these turbulent times.
