Thanks for the update. It sounds like it went pretty well all things considered, even if you didn't come to an agreement. (I think that was unlikely, given the way you've described W).
Make sure you have a witness there when she comes to the house, you would not want to be alone with her. Pack up all her stuff and have it ready. Make a list and have her sign for it, so she can't accuse you of having something later. She does not get to take the kids' stuff. It's their home and they need it for when they are with you.
What is the focus of court coming up - custody or D? How is your L going to use your MIL's testimony? What if she lies? Will you have any witnesses that are on your side?
And how are you coping? It sounds like you are finding strength - I hope that is the case.
