Abstrakt

This project analyzes psychological, sociocultural, and theological issues relevant to mothers who live apart from their children, integrating research and data obtained from a group of women who participated in a support group for such mothers. The project explores roles and expectations of motherhood as well as examining definitions of family. It details the dilemmas for a mother who tries to parent when not physically present in her household; the dilemmas that she faces in confronting attitudes of judgment and prejudice; the dilemmas presented by feelings of guilt, rejection, and abandonment. The study reframes and rethinks traditional family models, and offers suggestions for those attempting to help mothers in this difficult situation.
