I like how you can see some humor in the hypocrisy and craziness of your STBXW. You seem to be moving on quite well and have the #1 priority at hand - your kids.
Also, I like that you are telling your stately brother to your east to stop wallowing in his own self pity right now. Life throws curve balls once in a while and we just need to adjust and knock them out of the park.
Keep doing what you are doing.
PS. Not all people named Carrie are batchitt crazy!
