One day he comes home and finds she killed his kids. He loved her, but made the decision to kill her on the spot. But he couldn't handle it. He broke down. Apparently he had been in the institution for two or more years after that incident because his mind was just broken, the stress was too much, and he basically was now 'insane'. He kept having this reoccurring delusion (fantasy) that his wife had been an accidental death because of some fictitious pyromaniac and that he never had kids. This was what we see through the movie - his fantasy world. At the end of the movie, Ben Kingsley's character, the doctor, his whole plan was to just let Leo's character run through this fantasy, hoping he would come to the realization that it was a lie and hoping that he would remember the truth - that he had 3 kids, his wife killed them, so he killed his wife. As for figuring what was worse, living as a monster or dying as a good guy, Leo's character was revealing that he WASN'T crazy anymore. He really did come back to reality. See, he knew that if he didn't appear sane they were going to lobotomize him as a last resort. He couldn't live with the pain of what happened so he faked the relapse into insanity so they would remove a piece of his brain, basically killing off either his memory or his ability to feel the pain. Leo is saying to Mark Ruffalo, "I can't think what would be worse. Being sane and having to live with the memories of these horrific events... or having the delusion be real, and me being executed to cover up this grand conspiracy that I thought I found."

He murdered his manic depressive wife Dolores Chanal (Michelle Williams) after she drowned their three children. He was a mental patient at the hospital for two years, and the doctors decided to try a roleplay experiment to allow him to live out his delusional fantasy in order to come to grips with reality. The treatment plan works - and the patient is retold what has happened to him and he accepts what he did to his wife, However, in the final scene he relapses to a delusional state, and the administrator decides to lobotomize him. It is implied that he is faking his relapse so he will not have to deal with the mental anguish of his act (he rather die a hero than a monster), as he feels personally responsible for his wife murdering their children."
