The friend thinks she is confused and needs professional help. Some background data: Dudu was born and reared in KwaZulu-Natal. Her father is a reformed alcoholic who drank heavily when the client was a child. Both parents are religious, and the father is described as a strict fundamentalist. Dudu has a younger brother who works as a police officer and is described as the family favourite. She says her parents were stricter with her than with their son and emphasised the importance of marriage as well as the woman’s dependent and inferior role in that relationship. 1 Dudu dropped out of high school in the Grade 9. She worked as a domestic helper in Durban until marrying and moving to Johannesburg three years ago. She then worked as a waitress. Her husband says that they have had no fights or arguments during their three-year marriage, and the client agrees. Six months ago, Dudu gave birth to a baby boy. There were no medical complications, and she maintains that she adjusted well to the baby, but she reports just not being able to feel much of anything except tired. Two months ago, she and her husband moved to Bloemfontein so that he could take up a new job. She began working as a cashier at a shop. In the course of her work, she began to have a series of brief sexual affairs with fellow workers. At the same time, although her husband is happy with his new job, it does not pay well. He has asked her to try to find a second job or to take overtime hours at the shop. Dudu is considering leaving her husband and her child, although she is uncertain how she would continue to support herself financially. She is also concerned with what would happen to her son, because her husband cannot look after him financially. She insists that she does not want to take the child with her. Questions 1.
