EMOTIONAL HYGIENE 2019
A single mother’s family builds its psychological health on her emotional well-being, yet these moms are often so busy attending to their kids’ needs that they overlook their own emotional needs.
Many of these mothers are single due to a dissolved partnership, death of a partner, or another difficult circumstance whose psychological costs impact their families. Even single moms who don’t grapple with grief, loneliness, guilt, abandonment, or trauma bear the heavy burden of being the primary parent.
