He treated her poorly never accompanied her anywhere, including his work Christmas parties which he attended alone and would verbally abuse and intimidate her. To top it all off he drives a BMW at the expense of his family not having a place of their own. I treat her great, we have fun I make her laugh and feel appreciated I even enrolled in some college courses she is in to be able to share more with her and to help her. Our sex life is fantastic and frankly I'm better looking! I'm hoping this is just a normal part of the process of leaving all you've known your entire adult life. I also think that since her boys now live with their father full time, she is missing them and therefore missing her old life. I see it in her face and it breaks my heart. I want to grab her and yell "don't you see how much I love you and how much you mean to me! He tested you like ****! That's why you left!" Thanks so much for the replies, it means so much to me! I really appreciate the support and the feedback.

Okay... but the issue here is that he has her kids, I think.
I left my ex and was in love before the divorce. We had a son together. This left me in poverty and then homeless. So, he got my son. The place I found to live was 900 miles away. So I went from being an at-home-mom to not seeing my son for a year. He was 3 years old. This nearly destroyed me.
How far away are her children? Does she get to see them regularly? Why did they go back to him? How old are they? This is very possibly trauma that i have experienced personally. I didn't miss my ex, (and still don't,) but had to get back to my son so we found a way to return to the town where I now live. I only get to see my son 2 times a month but it is better than nothing.
