I figure the bast thing I can do for now is sit back and let them fight it out. Unless my wife voluntarily signs over authority to her father he has no say. I suspect he is loaning her the money for the lawyer with strings attached since that is what he always has done in the past.
The interesting thing is my wife is becoming more engaged in the kids lives than before this last incident. I found out last night that she took it upon herself to set up an appointment for flu shots for the younger two. She also told the two younger ones she would see them this Friday when she had dinner with them on Sunday. This tells me that she is planning on continuing the Friday Saturday overnight that was arranged before she had this last incident. She is also doing other things that indicate to me that she has no intention of giving up full custody or rights to the girls. She is appearing to be starting to act more like the mother she should be than she has been over the last few months.Last time she disappeared from the girls lives for 6 weeks and then it was a slow thing starting time with her and the girls. This time it has been different. She contacted the girls right away after leaving the hospital and seems more engaged.
I am not going to change what I am doing nor read too much into her actions right now. I will hope and pray that maybe this last incident and time in the hospital will be a positive rather than a negative.
