You know what the main problem is? Every post of yours tells of what she is doing and how she is driving the train. What have you been doing to counteract? It seems like you're still avoiding stuff.
After that email with the budget, you should send her a reply back saying, "sorry that doesn't work for me. I'll determine what I need for me and my children. Thank you." And that's that.
It shows her that you are not going to be pushed around anymore and you are seeing to the needs of the children first and foremost. She will be pissed but stop letting her emotions affect you. You can do this.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
