I am sorry @Leeanne1 I tried to relate. I buried my head in learning to deal with my family.

8 children is a lot of work and not much spare to spoil them all a lot. I wish there was more respect for the effort women put in to their families, but there is a lot of holding grudges from what I can see. It is sad. All I wanted for them was to be happy.

I wanted the some for my children to be happy too.☹️☹️☹️
But I feel like they hate cause at that time I did what I thought was best for them by putting them in care cause my husband left me with 8 children on my own

Aaaarghh 8 children on your own would have been a nightmare.
We have many experiences of being 'in so-called care' in my family. I was in orphanages and foster homes but never judged my mother.
I felt I was not enough for my daughter and always sent her to richer family members as I was in severe pain and struggling with her little brother.

Yes @Leeanne1
There seems to be a fashion that cutting off family members is fine and there is no need to try and understand or reach out.
