Scoobs, she is conflicted and following the same script that all WAW use. Mine would go from wanting to sit on the couch and watch a movie together to "I HATE YOU AND WANT THIS DIVORCE" in a matter of minutes.
Instead of hanging out with the kids and letting her go out, do something different that you have either wanted to do or never thought you would do. She is insulting your cooking skills, take a cooking class or two. I did, it was fantastic and oddly, it was full of people either in process or already divorced. I still talk to several people I met from the handful of cooking classes I had taken. I also took a dance class, not really my cup of tea, but it kept me busy.
I spent the first month or two after hearing "ILYBIANILWY" doing everything wrong. I followed her around, asked her where she was going, who she was with, asked her to look at our wedding album, everything else. Looking back, it was embarrassing. When they say you should GAL, they mean it. I know your kids are going through a rough patch, but so are you. You can't rely on them for support, because they need to rely on you. So get out there and try something new!
