I am not going to reiterate what everyone else is already telling you.....
I will offer you this.......kids are alot smarter than we give them credit for. They see through the bullsh!t and lies and in the end it will cost the person that is telling the lies.
My daughter was 12 when the shat hit the fin in my sitch. Her mother told her so many lies and my daughter was wise to it right from the "get go".
Sounds like your oldest is already onto the lies.
Try not to worry about what your W and MIL are saying.....it will come back to haunt them.
You need to be the rock for your daughters to lean on right now.......you need to be calm and collected......their whole world has been turned upside down......they will gravitate to the parent that has not gone absolutely batshat crazy.
Your kids are old enough to make their own judgements about you and the kind of father you are......make sure your actions and words support that image they have of you.
Think about how their mother looks to them now........
I am not saying to speak poorly of her or anything but just think about how they view her. They may not say anything but they are thinking it. Show them how to face adversity, to rise above the situation, be the parent they soooooo desparately need right now......even if you are 90 minutes away you can be that MAN!!!!
No matter the outcome of your M, your children will remember your words and deeds during this time.
Hang in there.
Cheers

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