I'm pretty comfortable judging the act of excising all of one's (ten!) children from one's life as being a shitty thing to do. Even other cloistered orders allow letter-writing, and there are semi-cloistered orders where family can come visit any time. There is nothing about the act of becoming a nun that mandated her cutting of her connections to her children.
