SadHub please take your meds. Your wife has gone off the deep end today. She appears to have lost her ability to regulate her emotions, and particularly her anger, altogether. Don't doubt yourself or who you have been for last 20 years. You are not losing your mind. She is.

I can't think of one charitable thing to say about your W, but there are a lot of things to admire about you, this I know.

W's behavior is absolutely out of control and I think that you should start documenting it, and possibly even recording the interactions yo have with her from this point on. No responsible or competent adult should ever behave that way in front of a child, particularly one as young as your D5. Never mind airing her dirty laundry in public is simply beyond tacky. It is horrible when a child is in the mixture and jeopordizes your daughter's future mental health. Discuss it with your lawyer. Your D5 AND D17 deserve better. So do you, obviously.

I'll be checking on you later this evening. Vent here and know that we're here for you.
