Being I've lived a long life, one thing I've learned is that nothing is set in cement. Maybe he WANTS to come home and why he told the kids that. So instead of a vicious lie, it might have been a hint to see how you are reacting... you don't know what's in his heart. Certainly if he comes back, he needs to get his act together but if there is love there, it will spur him on to DO that. I've known lots of couples who separated (sometimes divorced even) and then, came together again. They usually are - what I would call - not the most peaceful couples i.e. have their serious fights but seems they both decided they were happier together than apart. Hubby and I are best friends (last Sept 24 was our 42nd wedding anniversary) but I know that many couples who are not as peaceful as we are (to put it mildly), still rather be together than apart - my sister is in a marriage like that but they really love each other so go figure.

If you are a praying person, I would keep in prayer. Certainly you are strong and talented so you don't "need him" for income etc but you may still love each other. Usually you cannot get angry at someone you don't love. Or maybe you will both go your separate ways and there is someone else 'round the corner. I wish you the best.. that you feel serenity is great - sounds like you are handling things well. Sending a hug!
