Robin Pascoe-Why is loss of identity one of the biggest challenges for an accompanying expat spouse?

www.expatexpert.com This is the fourth piece in an 18-part on-line global lecture series 'Successful Living Abroad' based on the expatriate family book series by author Robin Pascoe. Each short segment (one hour in total if watched all at once) addresses the themes of global mobility examined in Pascoe's books: challenges for the accompanying expat spouse; raising children abroad; relocating a relationship; and finally, coming home again (repatriation.)
In this segment, Pascoe draws on her book "A Broad Abroad: The Expat Wife's Guide to Successful Living Abroad" to explain why the loss of identity after moving abroad can distress and loss of self-esteem for the accompanying expat spouse.
