I am like s4, why can't this be fixed today! But I will have to be like s6, and hope the future is brighter.


Be VERY careful here.
What you've told them ^^^ is "I want this to work." If you want it to work, and it's not working, then what MUST be true? That this is MOMMY'S fault.

I don't think you want to be driving a wedge between your W and the kids. You don't want them pressuring her.

Next time, just tell them that there are adult problems or something. You don't want to tell them too much. Focus on your relationship with them - not on the family unit as a whole.
