From infancy, every child needs the warmth, touch, nurture, attention, and love of a mother. But what happens to children who, for one reason or the other, have absent mothers.

What if they got separated either through death, divorce, migration, illnesses, or other irrefutable reasons? How about the case of the physically present but emotionally absent mum? What impact does this have on the child when they eventually become an adult? Can the effects be reversed or dealt with?
