The inevitable?

So, a little short history here for context.
I am out to a lot of people for 5 years now. I have gotten close to transition  only about a month from my appointment, when my wife and I realized we needed to make more money. My FIL (who is not supportive but would do anything to help his daughter) got me in his union. This stalled my transition.
He was supposed to retire by the time I was finished with my apprenticeship, and I planned to begin my transition shortly after I graduated the program.
Now, it seems he will have another ten years to go. I told my wife a few months ago that I would not be able to wait that long. (Upon hearing the possibility of that news, I had almost gone suicidal). My wife just recently had a bachelorette party for her sister, and there was tarot card reader. My wife asked her if she had made the right choice to stay with me. She wasn't given an answer, but it sparked a long conversation about me. That led to my MIL asking when I thought I was going to transition, and that if I did it while my FIL was still in the union, I would never be allowed to see them again.
I really cant wait 10 years. My boys will both be teenagers at that point (15 and 12), and I won't wait longer than that until they leave the house.
My wife has begun wondering if we are just postponing the inevitable divorce. We enjoy each other, have a great sex life, have all similar interests, and she supports me. We haven't told the kids yet. Thanksgiving at the in-laws was normal and fun. Given everything, however, I've begun preparing for the day that I will be shut out from their lives. Am i wrong to do this? I act normal and fun around them now, but I know the day will come.

I was just a little confused, are your kids currently 12 and 15 or they will be in 10 years? I say you're brave to prepare for it, and totally understand the can't wait that long game. I'm in similar situation but without the whole inlaw - union aspect. My kids are between 7 - 13, and my wife doesn't want me to do anything until they're out of high school, pretty sure though if I go through with starting my transition (like really starting it) she would opt for a divorce. I too feel it is just inevitable.

 Hello everyone,
                        I have 2 boys 8 & 10 I have used HRT since 2015 to manage a misaligned gender. I am committed to giving my sons the best family life possible. This means I must show them what is expected of them to be steadfast, competent men.

Ironically while I do this they see me most evenings in women's clothes and sometimes makeup. Their mother is very much mum & I give as much guidance as I can as a fatherly role model. It agonizes me that I could fail as a good role model.

My hope is that the love and acceptance I enjoy so far will continue as I become more feminine. So far letting the brakes off the inner woman slowly is mostly working.
 

Extended family can sometimes be guided & educated by you taking the initiative instead of family taking the initiative as they see fit.

All I can say is I think a gradual transition is possible without losing the lot.
 

  Wishing everyone good outcomes in tricky times - Kirsten.

The sooner you stop trying to please everyone else the happier you'll be. I didn't ask permission of anyone but myself to transition. Sometimes life is about making the tough calls and taking a leap of faith knowing it'll all work out in the end.

Oh believe me, I'm not trying to please anyone. I don't really care about my in-laws' opinion of me. I love my wife, and promised her I wouldn't leave. It's up to her if she wants to stay, but I won't leave because I do love her and my boys, and I don't want to lose any of that.

Just my take, but when two people marry they create a union that should come first.  The daughter or son should always take the side of their spouse above the interest of their parents.  Otherwise they are not being true to their vows and to their marriage.
