A couple of days ago I sent an email to all my children saying enough is enough stop being mean and horrible to me saying if you can't please don't bother being in contact until you can learn to be respectful.
Last night I realised this is actually exactly what I said to my mother, father and sisters who were always horrible to me many years ago. They never reached out to fix it. It's now obvious they never will - sad.
It's also sad that this is recurring in my life especially through my children.
how will this current estrangement change the dynamics of my relationships with my sons

They're going to have a battle on their hands if they wish to approach me again in the same manner. Line 1 also speaks of working together to sort it out but it's entirely up to them.
I'm dealing with one of them who's always been self righteous and never takes accountability. He appears to be having a strong influence on one of his brothers who used to be kind and generous but has become very obnoxious and 'up himself' in the last 6 months.
