W shows up at 7:30 so she can spend an hour with the boys before bedtime. That's real nice of her! Talks about how much fun she had going to all the bars and she's mad she had to come back go the real world. I just want to kick her ass.
She feels she deserves to live this new party life. As you are aware, you can't stop her. Bite your tongue, let it play out and eventually it will get old.

S9 asks her why she didn't hug and kiss on me when she came in. She tells him we did before he came down stairs. When he leaves I tease her and said I didn't remember that. She responds that I need to hush cause I'm out! S6 asks her if she's staying here since we haven't seen her all weekend. She tells him no she needs to stay at her place. They're getting tired of these games same as I am.
Have you set any boundaries yet? It's not healthy to have none. You don't want to end up in a place where she walks all over you. Maybe not accepting lying to the kids would be a good boundary.

After the boys went to bed she wanted to talk about our summer vacation. I wasn't in any mood for that.
Are you guys planning to do something together on summer vacation? If so, you GET in the mood! Perfect time to show her the new you.

It was all I could do not to blast her. I know she's come a long way in the last month or so, but I'm so tired of this. Sorry we all can't live in fantasy land princess! Most of us realized that by, at least, our mid 20's.
Continue to vent here. I know you are in a difficult place right now, but it sounds like you're doing well. Continue to look at the big picture, the end goal, as you make your way forward.
Try to make the best of each day, without worrying so much about W. Take care of you and the boys. Do something new, for you.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
