None of this matters when it comes to what I need to do.

I know you're venting. I can feel the anger in your post. You are stuck on W taking the advice/being controlled by your FIL.

Look at your statement^^^^

Do what YOU need to do. None of us ever thought our S would be the threat or walk away from their families. What are you doing for yourself, Matt? Role model this for your D's. Do what you need to to help support them. Your W is not there for them, she's not there for you. It's not fair, I get it., but teach your girls how to get through this!
