This is exactly right. Now if she were physical endangering the kids or say, mugging down in front of them, then you would clearly need to look out for their interests first. But the truth is, you can't stop this and trying will hurt your chances and might hurt your kids.

Take the high ground. Rise above it. Calm, cool and collected. Handle this with class and dignity. Then, when you look back, you'll have no regrets about anything you've done. And it will give you the best chance. Also, not showing any reaction is likely different than what she will expect you to do (no?), and I'm sure she will notice. Different is good right now.

Hang in there,
