I am inclined to agree with Gayatri mataji. After 2 children, walking out of a marraige is not good. That too, because you have grown spiritually and she has not. This is very bad example you are setting.
Please remember, your family are all future devotees. How you behave with them will have a bearing on how soon they take to devotion. You have to lead by being the ideal devotee you want her to be. You have to be epitome of patience and tolerance. You have to be gentle and patient with her and the kids.
You can tell her you would like to be vegetarian from now on, no more even onion and garlic. Whether she and the kids take it up, is their choice. Please allow them to make that choice. Give them bite sized philosophy, that too when they are ask. Till then, you do your sadhana.
Make it a point to take them to temple/ local congregation atleast once weekly and on festivals. Then maybe you can ask them how they felt. Discuss with them and give them reasons why you are convinced. Again I am saying, let them choose. If they take even 1 step in this direction, praise them and encourage them. This way, nudge them towards KC.
Leaving is not an option. Not at all.
