Sorry to hear how hard it is going...but realize that you did get to talk with your kids. That is a big positive at the moment and something you need to focus on.
Don't talk with your FIL or MIL at all about this! No discussion...for now they are the enemy and you know it. Corresponding with them will be viewed as pleading even if that is not your intent. Make a list of people that you cannot discuss this with...period. I would include MIL, FIL, and though I know the guy wants to help...the Bishop. Any conversation you have with them will be turned against you everytime....so find other places to vent...here or friends in Alaska, but not with those above.
