I would say "dumb struck" is a good description. I cannot believe she would leave her family, her children, for some guy she's never even met!

Well, I would say that hopefully she will meet him and see that he's a loser and hopefully you will be able to take her back.

The whole gaming thing online floors me anyway and I don't understand it so I can't say I really understand what is going on in her head at all.

I have to admit that I understand what she was saying about not feeling like a woman anymore. I was totally there and that's what led to my whole D sitch. D was not ever even a fleeting thought in my mind, but H ended up deadset on D'ing me b/c, as I was so unhappy for literally years, he was too b/c I was somewhat making him miserable as well.

I don't honestly think there is anything YOU can do about the whole feeling like just a mom thing though. That is something she is going to have to figure out how to "fix" on her own. My H tried to do a bunch of housework, etc. to make things easier, but #1 I didn't have any idea what he was doing and #2 that didn't make me feel more like a woman again just b/c I didn't have as much to do around the house, etc.

I wish I had more & better advice for you, but unfortunately I think it's going to be a waiting game for you now. I think she has it in her mind that she HAS to meet this guy and, like I said, hopefully she'll figure out that he's not all that she has made him out to be in her mind.
