Thank you Slothrop.  It disgusts me too. It hurts when it's thrown in my face, but it's equally as painful when it's stabbed into my back. 
It appears to be time for all of us to start communicating as adults and work on being truthful with ourselves and others. Throwing daggers and threats at each other, telling lies, pulling pranks and spreading gossip is NOT communication. It's time for adults to quit fighting, get out of the sandbox, and act like adults. Like it or not, we're the example for the next generation. 
We need to show them how to walk in this world. We need to show them how to communicate with each other in a way that will lead to resolving our differences without destroying each other. I understand people need to think about their own welfare, but what is so wrong about caring for the welfare of others?
It sounds like you and your wife have a good start in resolving your issues. I'm glad she wasn't upset about the email. It's was a good topic starter. Maybe you should re-title this "Glad I read that email." 
BTW - My husband thanks you for keeping me occupied so he can have some quiet time,
