How about something along the lines of:

Ex, I understand your frustration and as I said in my previous message, I will talk to them. For now I think we need to focus our energies on the children and getting them back on track. I think it is something that we can and should do together. I need your help.....

See if you can approach it again from a neutral posture and continue to redirect your Ex back to the issue of the children. I think it is going to take several attempts before your Ex comes down from her perch to engage you in a healthy way.

Just remember to keep your cool, continue to validate and redirect back to the kids.
