Cases like these are indeed like glass - handle with due care.
I think it is imperative to first move out of your home and live separately. This way mental harrassment of your parents would be curtailed. Then if there is change in your wife's behaviour, take it in positive sense and over time, try to make her understand importance of elders/parents in the house.
If even then you wife doesnt stay calm, you should start collecting evidence of her cruelty by recording voice or video. Keep collecting such evidence for few months. There is no need to to go police for her threats of suicide. It wont help you anywhere. And then file for judicial separation.In your petition for judicial separation, you can mention the reason as mental cruelty and these threats.
Please understand, Judicial Separation is a lawfully binding order wherein you cannot cohabit with your wife and if she is notorious enough, she can even file for rape if you do ultimately succumb to physical urges.
Judicial Separation is a way to tell your spouse that you are fed-up but ready to give another chance to him/her. But a direct divorce petition is clearly claiming permanent separation and that might go against you.
All the best!
