You will be this new wife's mother-in-law and it is up to you to define your role. You can change your entire life to conform with hers, or you can maintain your own integrity, be yourself, and keep an open mind about everything she believes and holds dear.
There doesn't need to be a battle going on between you. Your son doesn't need that in his life. You want to be totally respectful of his wife's beliefs, but you don't need to adopt them.
As for your son's older daughter, she will eventually decide for herself, but while she is in his care he will undoubtedly make decisions for her. Don't worry about all that. Aim for a happy family life for that new family; don't allow your own feelings to spoil what could be a good relationship.
I don't think your son really expects you to change in any way; just to respect and accept his new wife. You can do that, I'm sure, without losing your own individuality. Your task at the moment is to get along with the new wife. I think you would be wise to get involved in some other activity of your own that is not connected with them at all. Look around the community for volunteer work, at the hospital, at the school, the library, the animal shelter - anywhere - and make a life of your own.
You'll be a more interesting person for it and won't have time to worry about your son's new wife..
Truly yours,
GG
