"Should I continue my 180 because she is seeing the changes and says she finally respects me that she never respected me."
Of course they should continue because they are supposed to be for you. Unless you want to go back to being addicted to video games and being a neglectful father. It doesn't matter if they affect her.
"I think her biggest fears was she thought I was stalking her which I was not but my stupid mistake i made a month ago scared her."
Don't "think" because you really don't know if it bothered her. She not with you because of the YEARS of neglect. Not one incident.
"Or should I employ the LRT and just completely detach."
You should be detaching anyway. Detach your feelings from her so you don't get hurt. Concentrate on your kids. For the times that you do interact with her, make sure they're positive and upbeat. Show her a level of independence that you never showed before. Show her the mature side of you. That's the behavior that's going to attract her.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
