Study Finds Immigrating Husbands Leave Wives Unhappy

July 6th, 2009  |  

A GoodTherapy.org News Headline

A new study performed at Brigham Young University has found that the wives of men who immigrate to the United States for work tend to experience greater emotional difficulty than those whose husbands stay behind, and that the reversal of gender roles in such situations are also major sources of potential stress. Long distance therapies may prove effective. Source: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/156184.php

    Just wondering is this is the case of military spouses as well. Just think how hard it would be to not only be left alone to care for your family but to have the added stress of worrying about the military encounters that spouse may face while overseas.
