GAL,
as someone who grew up with an alcoholic parent who used to call me similar names as your W to D14, get the kids out of that sitch! Most people have no idea how damaging that is to a kid.

It's good that you are not disparaging their mom to them, but don't mistake that for putting up with her behaviour. The kids might not know how to set appropriate boundaries for her, so you'll have to do it.

I'm so glad you are being the rock for them during this hard time! Hang in there!
