You are so lucky that the grandparents want to be in your life! My MIL told me she wanted nothing to do with me ever again, after being in my life for 25 years. I kept bringing the kids to see them throughout this time when I could afford it, though she started pulling back just after BD because she couldn't bear to watch what was happening. Now I guess H has told her so many lies she is blaming me for everything. It hurt almost more than BD, and it is so awful for the kids!
BTW, I don't think it's unusual about your kids asking her to be their mom. They are little kids looking for solutions. My son won't talk to my H at all. Your kids are just too small to have any say in it. I would not call protective services, but I would invest in a guardian ad litem for the kids. You can hire someone to do that -- I only didn't because I have no money! But that person will spend time at both households and make recommendations. You might get more custody. Or s/he might just be able to get your W to check some of her words and behavior.

I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
