I agree with Jenkins here. Middle child syndrome IMO is something that tends to resolve upon maturation/adulthood. Yes, she could be a bit jealous, but it sounds like the way her family treats her has more to do with it than anything.
I suggest supporting her and staying out of it otherwise. If she finds you emailing her family, she may feel very betrayed by you and right now it seems she needs your support.
This isn't forever. In a few weeks this could blow over...or it could take a few years. Maybe it will never blow over? But I too think there is something deeper going on here and if you can just be with your wife and offer her your ear and your shoulder and your trust and respect, she may start to offer you more info.
Good for you for seeking support with this though. It is more than some husbands would do.
