Holding, you have to protect yourself. Your stbxw sure has her own demons working on her mind.
I remember when I was away from my W and S. My demons chased me on every pause I took. We all have a concience of the actions we take. Sooner or later we must face some reality. There is no need to confront, it makes you weaker. You are at a higher level now, you deserve to be respected.
