Your W sounds exactly like mine. My W made it a point to burn her bridges with my family early in the sitch. I'm sure in her mind even if she wanted to come back to the MR, it would difficult trying to work things out with my parents or siblings. And that feeling of living with a stranger is very true. Now the funny part of the friends who don't buy into the lies. Always happen to be the closest friends who care the most. When that fogs wears off the WS will seriously regret losing those friends as much as losing the spouse.
