AITA for "Enabling" My Wife

I (50M) married my childhood sweetheart when we were 20 and soon had our only child Ella(22F). Unfortunately, CS died when Ella was 10, leaving us heartbroken and Ella without a mother. When Ella was 13, I married New Wife. NW isn't as pretty as CS, but she is rich and intelligent and has two daughters: Anya(20F) and Draya(23F). She was a little cold to Ella, who has always been CS's twin, and much prettier than Anya and Draya. I assumed that they would just need time to get to know each other.

Anya and Ella thankfully hit it off fast, thanks to a shared interest in gardening and butterflies. NW and Draya were at least polite to Ella, but she kept telling me that they would say nasty things to her when I wasn't around. When I asked, NW explained that Ella probably just got confused due to their accents and the adjustment period. If this is need to know, Ella and Anya are both extroverts, and NW and Draya are both introverts.

Ella never backed down, however, and it got worse when she was 15. Before her 16th birthday, both NW and I suffered financial losses. It wasn't bad that we lost my childhood home, but we couldn't keep our staff and needed to cut down on certain things. We assured the girls that it wouldn't last and that we would just need to work together to manage things until we could hire staff again.

Things soon recovered, but we never got around to hiring staff. Instead, NW insisted on getting new clothes and beauty routines for Anya and Draya. She said that all three girls were approaching marriage age and that her daughters needed the help. I agreed.

Ella protested, however, claiming that she was doing all the housework and cooking. She didn't even have her room back, since some rooms needed to be closed off for heating. NW said that it was fine and it would be good for character growth. I tried to calm Ella down by pointing out how her spouse would be so impressed that she could do everything.

Ella stopped talking to me until last year. Last year, the prince of our kingdom came with Ella to explain that they were engaged. Apparently, Ella snuck out to a local festival that she couldn't attend because she didn't have anything to wear, and they got to talking. The prince apparently even started hanging around the market so he could meet and talk with her.

I was ecstatic until Ella informed me that she was moving out and that we weren't invited to the wedding. Only Anya was invited as a bridesmaid. I was horrified- I always imagined walking Ella down the aisle, having a father-daughter dance, celebrating with her. When I asked why, she told me that I was an enabler of my wife. That I had turned a blind eye to her abuse of her because I didn't want to "rock the boat". When I tried to protest, her fiance spoke up and said that Ella hadn't even understood she was being abused and it took him gently pointing things out for her to realize. So he didn't expect me to understand either, but I had still done nothing.

He didn't let me speak to Ella while the two of them moved her stuff out, which barely took an hour with the both of them. Ella did give Anya her number and assured her that the palace would be safe for her.

Her wedding is in three days, and Anya has moved out after an argument with NW, where she said the same things about me and detailed how she felt NW failed her: from trying to force her to loose weight even though the doctor said she was fine to purposefully destroying her weed garden. She is now living with Ella as her lady-in-waiting from what I understand.

I know there are ways I failed Ella. I should've given her more attention, tried to talk to her more. But I don't think I "enabled" my wife to such a degree that she feels right to cut me off.

What should I do? How can I reach out?
