For starters, I don’t think it’s a safe assumption that she’s in the kids’ lives at all. I mean, my BFF and I have been best friends for 25 years - more than half our lives - and if we stopped being friends tomorrow his kids would barely notice. Heck, I don’t think I’ve even seen them in about two years. LW says she’s “great with” them, but I don’t think that says much about her actual level of involvement or investment.
My sympathies are entirely with the friend for the fact that the person she thought was her best friend has in fact just been seeing her as Potential Wife and Stepmom for who knows how long.
