Then we will share custody, we hammered out the details in marriage counseling yesterday, and there are rules. We are not supposed to see other people, nor are we to just detach and ignore the issue. It is meant to be a time of introspection.
We will see how it goes, I was shocked to see her start to cry when we decided to do this. She stated that she is afraid that I wont take her back. She also stated that she is close to a breakdown and really needs the alone time. I don't know how I feel, I kind of don't feel. I am pretty numb, and what sucks is that this whole ordeal has affected my titration off of my Klonopin, I am back up to 2mg a day to keep the anxiety at bay. I need to keep things together now so that I can support my children. Adulting is hard.

Call me a pessimist but based on the past behaviors ... she may be doing a pity play. For the family car. The house. When you divorce. Whatever. I may be wrong. But that's immediately what I thought. Manipulation.
Sounds like she may be busy. No contact with the kids.
I am not trying to be a downer. Just tell me if I'm being unhelpful.
Good idea to stick with the Klonopin.
