It is due to a recessive allele on the X chromosome, in which women have 2 and men have 1. Women kinda have a "back-up" to cover the defected X, but males don't.

Why are men most likely to be color blind than women?

Men are not just 'likely' to be colour blind, they are the 'only ones' who can suffer from colour blindness. This is because colour blindness is cused by an x-linked recessive gene, that is it can occur only if a person carries 2 of these x-linked recessive traits. Now, females have one X and one Y chromosome,so in no way, they can have 2 X chromosomes.(exception-Klinefelter's syndrome, where thery is XXY trisomy) Only men can have 2 X-chromosomes. Hence, females can only carry the colour blindness gene, while men can 'suffer' from colour blindness.

Does the daughter and son suffer from color blindness if their mother is suffering from the color blindness disorder?

If the mother is color blind, the son will be color blind. The daughter will only be color blind if the father is also color blind. As to if they will suffer from it, that depends on their self esteem and whether or not they choose to view themselves as a victim as their mother apparently does. It should be noted that although many people have color blindness, it is rare to actually suffer from it. One possible way that one might suffer is if s/he were attempting to disarm a bomb and could not tell what color the wires were.
