Yes, she hates from her grandchildren because of some reasons. For example they might be naughty or she has some problems with grandchildrens' parents so this make her hate from her grandchildren. But I cannot get the connection between this and mine post.

hhtt she hates from her grandchildren
She feels hatred for = She hates

If you look in a dictionary you'll find that "affection" is somewhat like the opposite of "hatred".

Now do you understand the original sentence? If not, what don't you understand about it?
