Long-term stressors impinging on the family include emotional distance, lack of communication in families (especially within marital relationships), continual geographical movement from one community to the next (so that no stable and sufficient social network is established), a spouse’s minimal participation in family life, and excessive and frequent drinking bouts.
Family strengths include the presence of a social support system, interest in and capability to provide child care, motivation for employment, and financial self-sufficiency, self-care beliefs, values, health-seeking behaviors, and realistic goals and limitations.
