Yeah, management can be very dehumanizing. I learned to do what I think is best and cover for my team. A good manager makes the teams' work easier. Unfortunately you're wedged between who you're meant to support and who you actually serve, and that's a difficult tightrope.

It can feel very thankless but I'm sure you made a positive impact in the lives of those you led.
