Jerky Stepmom- What's New? - A Piece of Advice

Today I read about a woman writing in about the way her ex-husbands wife treats her. Apparently, like a dog bowl. This woman was friendly to the extreme it seems like. She took care of her ex-hubbys wives children, flew them to theme parks, invited them for sleepovers with her son, etc. The problem comes in when her (now grownup) son and his fiance invite her to a dinner the ex's wife is hosting and the woman (ex's wife) dis-invites her.

What I would say:
I don't know about you, but on what planet are your dinner guests allowed to bring in more guests of their own choosing? And how can you accept such an invitation, not given by the original host and hostess? So that is where you are wrong, but I must say after finding out about your "non-invited" invite this woman should have been gracious enough to hold out a hand to you; instead of embarrassing you, she should have set another plate. I say this only due to all the things you've mentioned you've done for her over the years. Your son who refuses to have anything to do with her, is sweet, a loyal son. But the dinner was hers and nor you nor your son had a right to impose yourselves on her no matter how ungrateful a creature she is. And that is the end, she behaved like an ogre, but if you and your son are angry about the dinner- it was her right to do as she please in her home.
