dude, sorry to hear the major freak-out session. Does your wife often behave that way? Not knowing any better, I'd want to say that she blew a major fuse there. Abusing her? Getting the vid so you can see yourself? Seems a bit off the deep end to me. Then again, I don't know the woman.
I think you did awesome by keeping your cool while she was ranting, and trying to calmly continue the next day. Maybe written/electronic communication would be better for ya'll?
Sorry, I'm not sure what to tell you. I know what I would do in reaction to what you went through - but that would not be very helpful to you. So the best I can do is tell you to stay true to yourself, and do what's best for your kids.
