ASK KAREN: Maggie, 34, was referred for counselling by her daughter’s doctor, after she had burst into tears when the astute doctor asked the sick daughter, aged 11 months, “And how is your mum coping with your move to Singapore?”
Maggie described that she was feeling depressed as well as stressed, and that these feelings had been mounting over time. The family of 4 had arrived in Singapore from Australia 8 months earlier, and because of her husband’s work and travel commitments, she now found herself alone most of the time with a 4 year old and the baby. She was not unhappy in Singapore, just felt that she had no time or energy to really enjoy it, nor to meet people who might become friends.
