Hey BBJ---sorry this has been a s*** day. I think that YOU will feel alot better and in turn be able to lead your kiddos alot better after you tell them. I also think that in this case it would be better for the kids to hear your story b/c you never know what kind of crazed wacky story XH and XMIL maybe trying to conjure up.
My XW still has not told some of her family members about the D b/c she has not had enough time to build her case up to them---I would not be surprised, check that I would almost bank on it that XH of yours is trying to pint his own picture about what is going on and when/if he gets around to telling the kids it will be in a way that they will think you messed up not him.
Hang in there and thinking about you, I know how tough this has to be for you
