She is of no importance regardless whose wife she is. When kids are grown there usually is a limited interaction with stepparents of ones kids).
My daughters stepmom is a lovely woman and we are on good terms but at this point I only interact with her at major events that pertain to my daughter like graduations or wedding. And she is the mother of my daughters siblings! So she is of importance in that sense but still I have zero interactions with her outside of big events.

Yes, I should offer up an explanation of the dynamics...
They have their biological father with whom they are very close. Stepmom 'one' would be his second wife. She is a lovely lady and I actually have a close enough relationship with them that I have even babysat their children for them. She would never dream of doing anything hurtful or crass.
Then they have their stepfather, my second husband, with whom they lived for 16 years. To my great despair they maintain a very close relationship with this man too. I don't understand why considering all the things he obviously and quite publicly did to me. Stepmom 'two' would be his girlfriend. She is a very snide woman who is quite full of herself. I understand from others she bears a great deal of the narcissistic traits of the step father. This is not the first occasion that she has rubbed the fact in my face that she both is in my children's lives and that her life, she assumes, is better than my life. La-tee-da about explains her personality. No I don't follow her, but I do put up with seeing her comments on my children's posts as though it is she who has ownership over them. Grrrrrr. It's rather like she is saying, "Look at me! Aren't I the best stand in mom ever!"
Now, back to this particular incident......
I am quite happy to let you all know that I had some vindication! Her comment has since disappeared. But, there are two comments that remain that rather harshly criticized her (individuals I do not know but am thankful to).
