Imageer, personally, I don't think she knows whether she has regrets are not. I have wondered whether my W has moments where she has regrets and am almost confident that she must. At other times, I think she is convicted that she is doing the right thing. I believe your W goes through the same things. Epecially since you can think back about how uneven she is. That does not sound like a person who is confident in their choices.

And you are being honest with your children that you wish the two of you are living together. She is concerned not what it is doing to the children but that she will appear as the one that is driving the family apart. That is unfortunate but a consequence of her actions.

With my children, when they are upset with their mother and what she is doing, I remind them about the mom she has been for a majority of their lives and think of her in that light, not now. A smile erupts on their faces and they show her love. This, of course, is in private, not in front of the W.

Do not lose hope. Keep doing what is right.
