First of all -- thanks for posting! Far too often it seems that by the time a sitch turns around, the LBS has left and we never get to hear how it turns out.
"Anyone want to add perspective?"
Not sure that I can add perspective, but based upon what I have seen your W could very well have "woken up." I would certainly proceed with caution (as you appear to be doing).
I know all to well about wondering which "person" you are dealing with. Shouldn't be too difficult for you to figure out though. Please let us know once you do!!! We all would like to believe that the person we once knew and loved will be back someday, but it sure seems unlikely at times...
Certainly her son being 300 miles away and you dating could have brought on her awakening. As they say, crisis in, crisis out. The main ingredient is time, however.
I doubt that the 300 miles away or even you dating would have had such an effect 9 months ago...
