Effects On Non Resident / Non Custodial Mums and Children

Joint Custody Mums
Note: The section on Part II The Downside for Women and especially this paragraph...below...
"While the phrase "joint physical custody" sounds positive, (children being wanted and loved in two households) the reality is often different for the parent. Instead of appreciating and utilizing "time off,"these mothers were often immobilized by sadness and grief. The truth is that "joint physical custody" is, by definition, a true loss. It is a partial loss of custody of a woman's children (as well as a loss of her marriage and status). When their children were "at the other house," the mothers missed them, felt at loose ends, alone without direction. They considered being a full-time mom a core part of their identity, and the presence of their children enhanced their self-esteem. Without them, they felt diminished in their role and purpose for existence. They experienced a loss of meaning and pleasure in their lives.
