Why is my son rejecting my mum :(

Has anyone been through this. I'm heartbroken.
My son is 4 and he lives with me, DS2 and my mum and dad. Ex walked out on me during my second pregnancy but still sees children.
I've always been very close to my mum and I'm heartbroken to see my son being so awful with her. He won't engage in conversation, leaves the room when she comes in, bad behaviour with her etc. I notice it more when I'm around and I wonder if it is soemthing to do with him being very clingy with me or perhaps seeing her as a father role... I'm not sure. He is a lovely boy but this is upsetting us so much. My mum supported me so much in absence after what his dad did to us. She has been more then a mum, more then a grandma. She struggles to get out and about so my suggestion of her having special time with him on his own has fallen on deaf ears :(
Has anyone been here or has any advice?
