JAKARTA - Actress Tengku Dewi shared stories about her life after the official divorce. Taking on the role of a single mother, she did not deny that there were tough challenges in balancing time between work, taking care of children, and maintaining mental unconsciousness.

Tengku Dewi expressed her hope that the single mothers out there will still pay attention to their mental health in the midst of a busy routine.

"What is the hope? Maybe I just want to tell the single moms who may now have to balance between taking care of children, working too, so that they remain sane, so what? Take care of your health," said Tengku Dewi in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, Monday, December 1.

Dewi realizes that financial pressure and fulfillment of children's daily needs are often the main stress triggers. She said the mental breakdown phenomenon is not foreign to women who have to raise their children alone. This condition, according to her, is very common and related to the lives of many mothers.

"I really believe, surely the single mom out there has experienced a lot of mental breaks, you have to think about how to finance children, what to do. This must be a very related relationship with mothers out there," he continued.

Therefore, Tengku Dewi emphasized the importance of having a support system. According to him, the presence of friends, relatives, or close friends is very crucial as a place to share complaints when they feel down.

"Anyway, you still have to be sane, there must be a support system. Where does the support system come from? For example, from friends, or relatives, close friends. If for example you are experiencing things that are not very good, you need friends, just tell stories," he appealed.

He believes that by sharing stories, mental burdens can be slightly reduced. Not infrequently, unexpected solutions or assistance arise from these sharing moments.

"Who knows, with us sharing, with us sharing experiences, maybe from there there there will be unexpected things that can help," said Tengku Dewi.
