As early as ten years ago custody of children was almost always awarded to mothers; but lately, more and more fathers are being awarded full custody or equal custody and children are being shuttled between households. Custody issues have become more complex and our society is scrambling to catch up. Mothers who have limited custody face issues that haven't necessarily been fully assimilated in our society. Some emotions that mothers without custody of their children encounter include:

Grief

Loss

Shame

Identity confusion

Fear about the future

Powerlessness and helplessness

Abandonment

Rejection

Confusion

Anxiety

Anger

While the issue is complex and difficult, it is important for mothers to know that they aren't alone, talking with others experiencing the same emotions is monumental to healing. This group is designed to provide a safe place where mothers without custody can discuss the complexity of their emotions and find hope and healing.
