Family Stress
Everyone experiences stress in their life, nobody is excused from stress, it's apart of life. Many different aspects of life or different events can cause stress and how we each respond to the stress is different for everyone. Stress can affect a family just like it can affect an individual and how the family handles the stressful event can be affected by many factors.
A lot of the times stress can feel like it never stops, just keeps getting worse, or just piles up. How we react to a stressor has a lot to do with what else may be going on in our life at the time of the event. For example, when little stressors that could be fairly easy to deal with by themselves could be a lot harder to handle and affects how we react to the stressors when those little stressors all happen a once. Another factor could be one big stressor happening right after another, leaving you with little time in between stressful events. Research done by Pauline Boss in 2001 shows that families in crisis are not sick families but are just facing a greater volume of stress than what they can handle. The context n which the stressful event occurs, the way the family defines the event, and the resources the family has for dealing with it are all crucial to the overall outcome and hoe the event will affect the family.
When it comes to stress, no one family will react to it the same way. We all react to stressors in different ways depending on our circumstances
