That's no good reason to take it out on Hiromi. Assuming her situation's identical to Hiromi's, there's even less reason to take it out on Hiromi, as Hiromi doesn't exactly hate Noe.
Shin's mom didn't know anything about Hiromi and Noe and the whole love triangle during the time she was acting cruel. She seems to hate Hiromi because of Hiromi's mother who must have been involved in some love triangle with Shin's father. She despised Hiromi because Hiromi reminded her of her mother at every turn, especially how she seemed to get her husband and son on her side, which must have brought back painful memories.

Also, the two situations don't obviously mirror each other to every detail, of course. There is less animosity in the "current generation"

Hatred is of course irrational. Hiromi brought up bad memories to Shin's mother and so she hated Hiromi's presence as well. She didn't know anything about Hiromi's own problems until episode 13, when she had already stopped acting cruel.
