Your wife has managed to repress everything negative so much that it has ended up getting dumped onto a cosmic entity that has existed since the beginning of everything. Every time someone has thought how much they hate mutants and she's heard it, she's repressed the resulting thought of "I hate you". She repressed it so damned much that she doesn't even know she does it. That's bad when you're a telepath like she is.
So of course she's going to blame the Phoenix Force for that. It means that she doesn't have to look at how she resents how mutants are treated. It means that she doesn't have to acknowledge that she is so damned lonely that she tried to mindscrew me into joining her in killing everyone, because I'm pretty much the only one who also wants to use my powers to smash everything until it stops hurting.
You say that X-Men don't kill? She's going to. She is going to kill unless you stop letting her avoid looking hard at herself and realising that yes, she has these thoughts and that it's okay.
