Working women who undergo divorce often face some challenges. They experience the ill-effects of:
1. Low Flexibility: single mothers have to take care of a number of responsibilities.
2. Burnt Out: single mothers juggle a number of tasks and often multitask, often at the cost of their time of wind- down or sleep, causing them to burn out.
3. Financial Strain: paying for rent/mortgage, meeting other household expenses, and taking care of children builds up financial strain on mothers.
4. Guilt: single mothers often feel guilty for leaving their children for work and other pursuits.
