Another option might be to validate, then just say when you are ready to negotiate, write down a proposal and let's take it from there.
Don't validate in any way that might be misconstrued as agreement. Just say "I'll discuss that with my lawyer. Why don't you write it down and send it to me?"
She's not putting it on paper because she just wants to push you into agreeing with her and she knows she's unreasonable or fears hat the actual outcome will be.
Try to be out of the house for the entire day if possible.
..Enjoy the day with your kids.
While IHS, focus on enjoying the KIDS as if wife is not there. Indifference is where your head needs to be. She is here...she is not here. Your emotional state should not change. You are the rock.
Be happy if she vents her anger. Be happy if she is happy. Be happy spending time with your kids. Be happy alone. No need to have perma-grin. Be happy on the inside.
Enjoy every moment.
You can handle it.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
