Women traditionally serve in the role of family matriarch. Following deployment, they may have a particularly difficult time adjusting to a new role including being separated from home, family, and children. This may cause feelings of guilt and inadequacy that can lead to depression and anxiety. The correct option demonstrates a healthy balance of concern and acceptance for and by the individual and her family. The remaining options lack that sense of balance.
