NRI children's impact on parents' mental health - Sadanand Kadam Gauri - Bog

The impact of NRI (Non-Resident Indian) children on their parents' mental health can be a complex mix of emotions. While the parents may take pride in their children's achievements abroad, they often experience a deep sense of longing and separation, leading to feelings of loneliness and sadness. The physical distance can exacerbate these emotional challenges, making it difficult for parents to engage in day-to-day interactions and celebrations. At the same time, the expectations and financial responsibilities associated with supporting their
children's education and settling abroad can add stress and anxiety to their lives. The result is a bittersweet emotional landscape, where parents simultaneously feel proud of their children's success but also grapple with the mental strain of separation and the uncertainties of their children's future in a foreign land.
