Tom, You are not alone, I was reading last night late and I could not remember the particulars of your sitch. Your thread is not dying out and just because somebody does not respond right away doesn't mean no one cares. You are in a great forum and I will tell you that I have made great friends here. The people here understand your pain and your dedication to your marriage, and your family. Let me tell you right now, that is something to be proud of in this world of disposable everything, here today, gone tomorrow mentality. You are a real man, and real men have feelings and needs, and it is okay, in fact it is good.
While I don't have any great advice for you other than, control your emotions, you are doing a great job, far better than I have done in the past. I have tried to read up on what my wife is going through, MLC and it helps me have compassion for her at a time when she is ripping our family to shreds and hurting me daily. Your wife is huting also and her pain runs deeper than you can imagine. She is angry right now and she is acting like a child that is throwing a fit. This stage will pass and the way you are handling it is great. Try to concentrate on you and the kids.
As far as the legal stuff goes, you may want to seek out some others on the board for advice. All I can say is stay in the house, do not leave and if she threatens to lie about something again try to record her saying so. I have recorded a couple of discussions with my wife. You can go to best buy and get a voice activated digital recorded that can hook up to the computer to off load recordings. You do need to protect yourself legally.
Tom, it will get better, you are just in the storm right now and it is hard to see. Hang in there. I will check back in tonight.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
