Hmmm, sounds like your W is prompted by some guilt somewhere in this conversation, some remorse, maybe. Although it's hard to say if it's guilt for what she has done, or for what she is doing now, or for what she's contemplating doing.
I would expect her to feel some guilt for what this is doing to her D. That shows she's not someone willing to abandon their children, and that's good.
H4C, you handled the convo. extremely well, I must say.
