Why do you constantly let her yell at you? Just walk away. Right now you're just taking it like a punching bag. I know you were a little assertive in terms of what you were going to do about your living area, but the rest of the time you just let her keep belittling you. Stand up and be a man.
"This morning I told my W that I could use a destressor tonite, wink wink."
I can't believe you actually said that. From that quote alone, what little respect she had for you probably went out the window. You keep showing her you need her when she doesn't need you.
"D11 and D7 bickered most of the time tonite. It seems like I get nothing but attitude lately from them, on top of that from my W and her mom and being excluded from everything."
Do you know why they give you attitude? It's because they see their mom doing it to you and getting away with it. Both you and your FIL are being walked all over by these women. If you want to find out what to do, then get your balls back from these women. It's as simple as that. They walk all over you because they don't RESPECT you. And sadly your Ds are learning from example.
But remember, it's a two way street. They can also learn from YOU. They are with you 50% of the time. Teach them during that 50% you have with them. Teach them how to respect others. Teach them like a responsible father and parent does. If you don't, they are going to end up exactly like your W. Is that what you want?
"Why did I come back to Dallas? "
Because you ran away the first time and you were going to reassert yourself and get your girls back. Have you forgotten?
There's your 2x4. I'm sure the first of many.
C'mon man, you were doing so well. Keep it together!

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
