I'd also say, in my experience, the transition from 1 kid to 2 is the hardest... If you have the option (with a light at the end of the tunnel with your wife's new role), I'd take the time to support your wife and be with your family.
On top of that, I've been there; ousted as a co-founder and it is, mentally, the most difficult thing I've ever been through. The feelings of betrayal, confusion, lost optimism and shame are a wicked confluence of emotions and you should take some time to address them.
Having been in your shoes (without the safety net of a wife with a waiting executive role), I wouldn't change a thing... Take your time to clear your head and work with your wife to decide what's best for the future of you and your family... I don't want to say 'take time to plan your next entrepreneurial endeavor', but if you have that bug... "If at first you don't succeed..."
Congratulations and good luck.
