Unless you can prove domestic abuse there is no way to obtain your GC.

Please fill out your VJ timeline.

No, you were only able to adjust status through that marriage, and it was not her responsibility to inform you about getting an SSN.

 

You will definitely need a family lawyer regarding your kids.  That is not an immigration issue.

 

So you have been here out of status for 7 years and you're just now looking into this?

Is your wife still willing to sponsor you? You can only obtain a GC from your (ex)wife or through VAWA…

She is not eligible to sponsor you for a GC because your marriage is no longer valid.

Yes because i was afraid i would get deported because she did threaten to deport me before but she just said it out of anger because i was in the wrong i cheated and we couldn’t save it it took that long because i was waiting for the time she will heal and be civil about it and now we’re ok but we’re not together

You probably have to divorce and move on / find a different avenue for staying in the US. Staying married means you'll be liable for any new debts she's accumulating.

Do you have a valid WAVA case? Did she physically abuse you? Do you have police reports or restraining orders? Did you suffer mental abuse that is documented? Do you have witnesses? It sounds like a weak / no WAVA case so far.

What do you mean by she's doing the divorce? You can file for divorce without her permission any moment. With children involved it's harder, for sure.

You can only get the GC through her. she has to sponsor you. 
Sounds like there is no abuse so VAWA is not an option.
