Classic re-write of history to suit her needs/WANTS!
Yeah, the demonizing is now on in full-court press

Interestingly, the one time I brought up a non-mediating, personal issue she cut me off as it being irrelevant. Wife, she lets prattle on and cry. Next time that happens I will challenge it.

They may be unwelcoming of it (because of the stbxw poison), but you did and do what's natural.
I will, but I am (and should have been) mindful of the fact that I was not invited, so I will address that. After I married my STBXW and my sons wrote me off (yes, this is my 2nd M & 2nd D), my STBXW would always say, "They'll be back." She was right. My stepkids, if they are indeed gone, will also be back. Thanks.
