[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Request family therapy for just yourself and the kids. You can do this request via the courts if your XW will not agree. Do not request a change in visitation. You are not there yet.[/quote]

Visitation (custody) is not possible or desirable for reasons, but I'm being talked out of stuff like meeting them in the park for a chat or going for a drive or having lunch.

I cannot emphasize enough how involved I used to me in their lives.  I feel like a monster the more I think about this.  [/quote]

I haven't read any further than this but it seems as if you are extremely manipulative
 You're painting yourself as some sort of martyr who would be super dad, if not for the evil hand of current wife, ex wife and even kids 1 and 2.
You take no direct responsibility for anything except to say you were manipulated or persuaded..even into tossing pictures of your own children in a bin
Grow up [/quote]

I forgot to address the elephant in the room. 
OP your mental health "issues" need to be addressed and medicated before you contact your children ever again.
This is not depression or anxiety. Those things are the end result of your underlying mental issue and the actions you take because of it. 
The only damage you are doing to your children is making them bear witness to your breakdown. Leave them out of it until you have found the help you need.
