Thanks vise82. It's hard to know at times but thank you for the support. I do feel I have added to my W's confusion these last couple of months which might be a good or bad thing but for the most part I do feel on a good path for myself. I have found my own confidence again, I still think about my W and the turmoil she is in. She has said she does not know who to trust... I feel she could be being manipulated by this 'friend' and have asked a trusted friend to keep looking out for her as I know I need to go dark. I will get better now she is out of the house and would be second guessing her motives and actions. Look forward to seeing. My kids again on Saturday morning. Will be the first time I see her for almost a week. Plan to have a hair cut and look smart when I pick them up.
I had my kids since she left on Sunday till this morning, I get them back Saturday morning for the next 5 days. Know that will be hard on W to only see them for 2 days out of 10, but this is the life she says she wants now. Let's see if she really does.
Thank you broke, detaching I still struggle with in my own head, but have kept it away from W mostly.
SI, I agree that in my mind I will be thankful when she moves out. I won't, as you say, try to interpret her every move and counter with one of my own. We will really be able to work on ourselves.
Enjoy your kids. I'm pulling for you.
Fight the good fight no matter the quality of your opponent.

Hi all, so will have my first personal contact with my W tomorrow when I pick up the kids. Know the basics of being happy and positive, keeping things short but polite. Any other advice I can use?
