So glad to hear from you and to hear that at least your wife went to C with you. Your C does sound insightful so hopefully this will be a good start.
Quote: So I have agreed to not talk to my wife about anything but the kids.
What does this mean? That the conversation on Friday will only be about the kids? Or just in general you will only talk about the kids?
I ask because my thought is to talk about some things that she is (or was) interested in (Movies, TV show, sports, books, etc.) or maybe just to ask her about work and, here's the key, let her talk and not try to solve anything for her or judge her or anyone else in her "story". My guess is that she may try, consciously or unconsciously, to tempt you into relationship talk or old behavior. Think of it this way, what if this was your first date (meeting) with her?
Overall I would say that now is a great time for you to back off on relationship talk because you have a good counselor. Let the C lead those conversations for the two of you.
Good Luck on Friday. I'll say a prayer for you!!
