My heart goes out to you and your family. Mine acted out once big time in front of children and it wasn't pretty, had impact on both of them. I can only imagine what you're going through.
If I may give a little advice:
My W was physically abusive 3 times, once I stood and let her beat on me, offered no resistance. Frankly I was dumbfounded at the event and didn't know what to do. The next day I decided to file a police report and had plenty of evidence in the form of brusies on my body and text messages from her corraborating what she had done. I later learned from my L that it would have no bearing on custody issues because she wasn't arrested. Police report/pics of me and all.
If your W is ever physically abusive HAVE HER ARRESTED! If she is DUI and you can pull it off HAVE HER ARRESTED! It's hard to say you weren't drunk when the breathalizer says you were. This could aid you in getting her out of the house and obtaining full custody of your kids. It's not emotionally easy to do, but do it for your kids if not for yourself and even for your w's safety/good.
If doing the right thing was easy, everyone would do the right thing all the time.
