What I don't like and I think is absolutely wrong in the mariage sorciere "magic" is the denial of unhappiness.
Escapism is okay as long as it is used as a distraction and not as a way to replace reality. Ange could fantasize about having a lot of friends and so could Maria, but they shouldn't have crossed the line where they would fool themselves into believing they had absolutely no problem and they were happy that way.
Maria wasn't happy, no matter how you look at it, there is overwhelming evidence that she was sad and she wished continously for Rosa to be a better mother. And yet when Ange inquired, Maria was adamant in stating that she was happy.
This kind of delusions can lead to a whole lot of psychological problems. You should never deny your feelings.
