Any hope?

Luther, the dynamic you're describing with your children is not at all healthy for them. Regardless of how things work out between the two of you, W should not be rallying the children against you. I strongly recommend you jointly meet with a child and family therapist to learn about how best to protect the children and look out for their emotional well-being through this phase. Tell your wife its not about you, its about the kids and doing what is best for them.

Secondly, you need to parent them. It's not okay for them to disrespect you or to blame this on you. They need to know you love them, but they also need to have discipline in their lives and understand and respect boundaries.

Hope for them is the first thing you should focus on!
