I like this idea. Line up child care. Then sit her down and say "I understand you are unhappy. And that you do not want me, our S, or this family. So I have arranged for S to be cared for while I am at work. You are free to leave and start your new life.
Call her bluff.
She may not be bluffing. Either way, I think this shows strength. It shows that you really listened to her. You understand what she believes she needs to be happy. You are setting her free.
