Hey , I'm so sorry you r going thru this. Not seeing you on mother's day bc mother in law more important. Nonsense . Sounds like the gf is a chip off old block of mom. Sounds like sons gf is a well....brat. idk best advice other than talk to your soon about how you'd like to be with him more , or make plans to take walks, lunches , etc things that don't break the bank. Invite son and gf or if gf doesn't come just son. Start to do all you can to make effort to be with son away from this so he can make sure it's what he wants . You are his mother , you deserve to be held high

Re: Which do you prefer Miss, Mrs. or Ms.
The National Parks Service addresses mail to me as Brigadier General.
Miss Firstname is super common for kids too; it's how we usually referred to our adult neighbors or good friends' parents. The kids I tutor call me "Miss Lurkerfirstname"
This is interesting because in elementary school (Ontario), we called our unmarried French teachers Mademoiselle.
In my Alberta French classes, "Mademoiselle" was only for the kids. All the teachers were "Madame", married or not. I noticed the same trend when I studied in Quebec too and I loved the simplicity of it too.
When I lived in Spain I noticed the obvious. Everyone checked for a ring and then gave me a very firm "Señorita", despite having a baby with me. It was quite judgemental every time, actually. I was just a nanny but when people didn't know, they were often almost rude with the pointing out my unmarried ness.
They assume you're unmarried and treat you accordingly unless you tell them otherwise. And refuse to give up bus seats when you've got a baby in your arms and whisper "puta" to their friends, in my experience, lol.
I think if I was a Dr. or a Prof. or something, I'd get upset if people called me anything else, because those are titles that you work for.
But I honestly can't think of the last time anyone addressed me by anything other than my first name.
