"My wife has really neglected the entire family, not just me. I've tried to point this out, and she's getting better, but she's not around much of the time."

Don't tel her this. It really could stem from the fact that she felt mistreated by you for so long that she just needs space to be her own person for a change. That's why she needs space.

"She blames me and that she just want to be around me. The problem to that argument is that if she didn't want to be around me, she could still take the girls with her. I think she just wants to party."

Stop 'debating' her. If she wants to be alone, let her be alone.

"Other than these things I really don't have a chance to GAL, because I need to tend to my daughters."

All that stuff you described ARE GAL. Continue to concentrate on your kids and your own health. Your W needs the time alone to vent and get it all out of her system. In fact, if you treated her as badly as you said you did before, you can't keep having expectations of how YOU think she should be acting. Even if it does concern your kids. Consider it a gift that you're giving her.
