It sounds like she is craving independence and enjoying life on her own. Two possible outcomes depending on her personality. She will either enjoy her new found freedom and will not want to go back to her old life immediately, or she will realise that single independent life is not all that great. Which outcome will depend on whether she has a man lined up. All you can do is focus on your children and suspend any thoughts of what she may be up to. Just live your life to the max. Life is too short!
