It's hard to imagine that my kids wouldn't want mom home and/or us back together.
Short of physical abuse or something traumatic like that, kids do pretty much always want their parents to recon, even if it's been many years since they split up, and even if the kids are adults.

I also wonder if my kids think I'm an idiot for wanting W back.
I seriously doubt it. It's a noble thing to want to keep your family together and your kids will admire and respect you for it.

Clearly now that the OM is on the scene, they see mom in a different light. The kids aren't talking and I'm not asking.
You might ask each of them individually if they have anything they'd like to ask or discuss. They may not be talking because they don't know how to broach the subject, or they're afraid it might hurt you or make you angry.
