Question for all Christian Wifes

I’m divorced and remarried. With Former H, I got along great with his mom and really missed her when he left me. She and I were like two peas in a pod. We loved to do things together and she was just so much fun to be around. I felt like I was not just losing my spouse but my family. The only exception was his sister. She was never rude to my face, but I could tell she never really liked me. That’s okay, not everybody will be my friend and I’m fine with that. We were kind to each other at family gatherings a few times a year and never pursued any sort of friendship outside of that.

I have a hard time with DH’s mom now because she neglected him growing up and was very selfish in her decisions involving him. He was abused by other family members and she was too self involved to see it. He has made his amends with her and she wants to have a relationship with us. I don’t like to talk to her much because we don’t have anything in common and she can’t keep a conversation going. I let the kids talk to her on FaceTime. She has been generous to us with stuff for our kids so I am thankful for that. He has one sister who is probably on the spectrum but is undiagnosed, and I have a hard time relating to her much, but we are friendly. His other sister is awesome and I totally think we would be friends if she didn’t live so far away!
