was her saying she wants to be with me and isn’t thinking about D.
Well now, that is a positive.
See if she follows up with such things again. Or better yet, her actions start indicating that. And by the way, it’s ok to reinforce/encourage positive behaviour. After all positive begets positive. Be authentic and sincere; and not over do it.
Something simple like, “I’m happy to hear that W”.

Good for you. Just acknowledging her feelings will speak volumes.

A tip. When an apology is warranted, don’t just apologize for how she feels or felt. Apologize for what you did. “I see you were upset. I’m sorry I vented like I did.”
Has she responded to your apology text?
D
Thanks for the positive comments. I did in fact apologize for my my actions not how she felt. She did respond. Simply thanked me the apology. Kids will be gone when she gets home so we will hopefully have a quiet evening with no R talks. I definitely won’t be instigating any R talks.
