Need help please

Another tough week with ups and downs but it does feel like its slowly getting better.

I am trying to have as little contact as possible and keeping up the DB but its really not happening.
My W sends me photos everyday of my daughter(lots of the photos with my W in them as well) on the days that i don't get to see my daughter. i try not to reply unless she asks a specific question but it is hard to resist the urge to talk.

I am still fairly confused about everything she says and does. She quite often sends me text messages and photos of just random things to get a response from me. I don't reply unless its important. One minute i feel like she is done and never coming back the next day she seems warm and loving.

Its a hell of a roller coaster ride but the result is these ups and downs are starting to have less effect on me as i'm doing my own thing and getting into a good routine.

I am wondering what experiences others have had? one minute shes telling me shes having a house warming party for her new place, which is fine shes allowed to do whatever she wants if she wants to party i'm not going to be happy about it but i acted as if it didn't bother me at all. Then she proceeds to tell me about how she is struggling being by herself and how things are not going right for her.

Its so hard to follow the changes and i really never expected her to tell me about things being hard for her? i thought no matter how hard things are for her living by herself that she would never show it or tell me about it?

When she drops of my daughter or picks her up from my place she tends to always hang around for an hour or so wanting to chat about nothing important and is in no hurry to leave? all of these things seem strange to me but maybe some people further down the track then i am will have some idea.
