It depends on what you did to lose them in the first place. Not to be rude but if your a bad parent then maybe you shouldn't have them anyway. Too many people think that having kids is their right when in reality, having kids is an honour and should be thought of as that.
If your a good parent this is something that you understand.
She is wrong it dose it metter what you did is longs as you love your kids and are will to chage for them I lost my kis and I did alot of bad sutff but now the are home with me now just fight that alll you can too don't give up I dint.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
