There are trusted adults around, you can check the children are with the carers.
I am glad that you are finding out some basics about how Rs work. These kind of books give theory and examples. I suspect like V, it is harder with posters to extract structure. MCS seems to have preference with structured knowledge.
Waywards have to distort reality to fit their view, my understanding is that this is called cognitive dissonance. Eventually there are so many differences between Ws view and reality that the bubble bursts. Then patching of reality occurs, that seems to be replay. Repeating and looping until eventually there is disintegration. This is how addiction works in gambling compulsion, eventually rock bottom is hit and despite flailing change, real change occurs. If W is right minded ( and my notes say that W took great care of her siblings from a very young age) so that is good for your co parenting in the longer term.
MCS, be strong and kind, your core values and spirituality are glowing in your life. Whatever happens MCS will be the very best dad he can.
