jmw, this approach comes across to me as pleading, pursuing and needy. Don't do it and don't initiate talks about the R/M; if she does then validate her feelings. If you are happier and capable of doing without her and the internet so much the better whether she sees it or not.

Why do you have to supply her with D5's clothes for Church, etc? When my W moved out I divided all the kids clothes equitably and after that anything I buy for them stays at my place, wrinkles and all.

If you have to meet her about something or to just chat try to do it at a cafe or some neutral place when D5 is at school or something; that way if she tries to corner you on the legal stuff or if you just need to go you can make some excuse and leave. I'm not sure about this but I'd say try it.
