First of all, unless there’s something you’re not telling us, your wife has a screw loose. Grabbing a kid by the leg and yelling at him to stop hitting his sister is normal parenting. Maybe not our finest moments but I defy you to find a parent of bickering kids who hasn’t done something similar. She is either using this deliberately to hurt you in the divorce or has some kind of serious issues from her own childhood that she is unjustly projecting onto you.
There is nothing I am not telling you.

You are preaching to the choir =)

She keeps referring to "stability being key" whenever anything comes up. Stability for the kids is best, etc. Professionals say "stability is best for the kids."
It just so happens this means things like keeping the house, W keeping majority custody, etc.

Yeah, I won't fold on this. I am easy-going, but not THAT easy-going.
