Phaedra has also taken a drastic measure not to let her kids visit their father in prison anymore. While several of her friends considered that by doing so, Phaedra would deny Apollo, his rights as a father. Phaedra believes that it is right for her kids, and this is with no beef to Apollo.

On top of that, at one of her visits with her children, she encountered more than what she had bargained for; she along with her kids mistakenly witnessed an inmate being pleasured in the visitor’s room.

Well, she is an example of strong and independent women, she took care of her kids alone in the absence of their father.
