These shocking statistics call to our attention the importance of financial independence among women. Financial dependence, though, is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Dependence can also be noted in Validation and Self Esteem; Mobility and Daily Care; and Emotional Support and A Shield from the World. Loving, caring, and well-meaning spouses, families, and caregivers can unwittingly gnaw away at self-confidence and self-esteem until a person is unwittingly trapped in an unhealthy situation.
Are you at risk? If so, there is hope! It is possible to regain your self-esteem, rebuild your self-confidence, and become independent once more.
Independence is a skill, an attitude, and a lifestyle that anyone can achieve.
