I hope any inspiration I have given you is worthwhile.
I think if W wanted to return, the first thing I would require would for it to be on my terms. That would be on the basis that she got some professional help - counselling and the like. I'm a very forgiving person, but I don't think anything would be gained by allowing W to walk back in to my life and I just shrug it off and ask no questions. I think, judging by my parents experience, would lead to further resentment and just lead to problems in later life.
In addition, I would want her to say sorry. It sounds simple, but my W has never been able to admit she was wrong. Saying sorry doesn't come naturally to her and this would be a big step for her.
