I accidentally washed a pen inside of my shorts pocket in a FULL load of laundry, containing my daughters adorable clothes and my husbands work clothes. I need to get it out. Open to any suggestions? I have tried many things but none seem to work. Please help. All clothes are stained.

I am not sure if this will work after the clothes have gone though the wash but before it is washed use hairspray.
spray it on like a prewash. also takes ink off hands if sprayed on and let sit a moment or two before washing hands.
I agree hairspray sometimes work for ink stains in clothes but if there is a lot of ink in one area it won't work and it will make the stain worse.. Go to the cleaners they may be able to help...
I have successfully removed ink from a white shirt using rubbing alcohol. It is inexpensive and worth trying.
I got magic marker out of my marker with purell hand santisizer. the marker was dark blue and my carpet seafoam green. worked like a whiz!!!
You TRULY have your work cut out for you. Wear thick kitchen rubber gloves, and when you find which works out of these suggestions, take your time, using plenty of paper towels to soak up what ink is released, before applying soap or re-washing/drying because it will set the stain MORE.
Use sour cream or yougurt. Put either directly on a stain and rub or use a toothbrush. Rinse and repeat.
It will not make things worse. Try it. Also it is not toxic. It worked for me.
