I know that feeling of being replaced all too well Gigi. It [censored] but it is just a feeling...not the reality. My MIL and I own our home together. She lives in a suite downstairs and I am upstairs. She and I talk almost daily and even went on vacation last year with my kids. It is a difficult situation. She loves her son and she wants to support him. I know she wishes he had stayed married to me and we had worked things out but once that decision was made, she really did not have a choice but to get to know OW and try to make the best of the situation. I don’t begrudge her that and I definitely don’t take it personally. She can have a friendship with OW and with me too. And there is one thing that I will always have over OW. I am the mother of her grandchildren.That makes me irreplaceable...just like you. (((HUGS)))
