Do everything in your power to do what's best for your kids, whatever it is you decide that is.
You made sacrifices for them and she seems to have taken advantage of that and has taken it for granted.
In the end, what matters is whether you feel you have done (and will continue to do) what is right for your children, all the while ensuring that you do what's best for yourself as well.
I'm very sorry to hear about your situation. I wish you the best of luck.
