I wonder if maybe you need to look at some parenting books for divorced parents?
I guess you could say something like "Mom and Dad are living in separate houses but I will always be there if you need me."
You could mention to XW and ask if you could talk to D on telephone?
You sound as if you have really made changes in yourself and you speak of your wife lovingingly. I am glad for you and I do hope that things go in the way you want.
