You didn't commit any crime, and you aren't stuck, at least under the facts as you've mentioned them. File a police report for identity theft.

Your ex has committed identity theft against you, and probably multiple types of fraud against the lenders. Report her to the police, the FBI and the credit card issuers. Then get to work repairing your credit report.
