"If she has a problem with me being here, I will deal with it."

How? This is what I mean by having a plan. You can't figure out what to do WHEN it happens, you have to figure that out beforehand. And in a way that she feels safe with. That way you're showing responsibility and that you're concerned about her needs.

"In fact, her response after the initial anger was acceptance and she gave me instructions to take care of the kids more and to take on more family responsibilities."

You didn't mention this part before. So again, what do you plan to do if something does happen again?
