I think its good for you to see your attorney and get your ducks in a row.
be careful with your kids. I would never refer to one as a trump card...make sure you do whatever you can to make things easy on THEM. not for your wife's sake, but because its the right thing to do for your kids. sounds like you are going to have to be especially careful of the middle one.
yeah, the inlaw thing doesn't surprise me at all. trust me, mine love me very much, I've been like family for them, if anything I've been there for them more than h has been. but in the end, blood is simply thicker than water.
take care of yourself. I can't remember, are you in any kind of therapy?
