Can you be alone?

At some point of your life you probably came across situations when you had to be alone, either because your partner was travelling; your children were at their grandparents house and many others. To some these situations can be dealt with no problem, but to others much harder. In these moments we can feel lost, not knowing what to do and often even bothered by this feeling. Of course it all depends on your age and the situation you are in, but overall this requires some reflection.

The last recommendations here were about the challenges during the adoption process and the paternity, ‘A Martian Child’, and another about how a child perceives the divorce crisis of his parents on the movie ‘What Maisie Knew’.
