This. Lived it. Saw it happen. The kids will see it eventually, but be warned, it may take years.

This is the best advice ITT. Kids are smart, they see with their own eyes what kind of parents they have. At ages 6-8, they mimic the behavior of their parents and they learn to deal with adversity the same way they see their parents deal with it.

Get them counselling immediately. Find a schedule that works for the whole family, even their mother. Young kids need consistency and structure even with the smallest things, i.e. dinner/bath time/bed time, etc.
