So this is not a case of two people growing apart. This was a case of betrayal. At least this is how I look at it.
Any comments would be most welcome.

I read your letter, Melody, and, first of all, I want to say that, I completely understand your hurt.
....but, betrayal??
How can that be? I think you are way over the boundries of Friendship, here.
I have a friend exactly like that. We are 68 and have been dear friends since the fourth grade and the same with my being a part of her family, even down to her Children calling me Aunt Sally( and still do).
If your scenerio had happened to me, yes, I would be hurt and yes I would be angry, but not with my friend, but with the grown, self sufficient, selvish, user, freeloading Son. How could I be angry with my friend, who was only doing what a Mother has to do. He's the one who needs a good spanking.
I also understand her Children's anger with you, because of the hurt your misunderstanding has caused their Mother.
I'm sorry for your loss of an apartment, but the loss of a dear friend is much more tragic. If It were me ( and it wouldn't be), I would go, on bended knee and ask her forgiveness for being so selvish and thoughtless.
I do wish for you, that your friendship can be salvaged..
