As i said before, there is not need to show history of dependancy.
The problem is credibilty. As you have been a dependant on your husband and married with 3 children, it makes it difficult for judge to find that the relationship of dependancy is genuine.
In these circumstance, your children will be better of claiming right to reside from their grand father, than you will. You can then claim right to reside as their mother.
No need for you to be considered under regulation 8. That regulation only come into the equation if you are unable to show depencancy and claiming to be member of your dad's household. I must say that provision offers a lesser protection than Regulation 7.
I think you should seek legal assistance from people who knows the law in this area, as tgere appear to be confusion at present. If you go under regulation 8, i am suspecious that even if you are found to be dependant or member of the household, your case will be remitted to the secretary of state to exercise discretion, and i suspect given the circumstance, the UKBA will not want to exercise a discretion in your favour.
