Tribal Wives

This programme is really affecting me... just finished watching the third episode and was in tears at the end. It seems as if a lot of the problems that these women are facing due to issues with their families are helped by the acceptance and very real love of their tribal family. The woman tonight struggled to let go of her identity as someone who dressed in a certain way and wore make up, someone who lived in the UK with no restrictions (that's what she thinks... there's a mountain of restrictions but we don't see them as such because we have been brought up with them) and it was so liberating for her when she did manage to let go, at the end she is parading topless through the village in a ceremony and she feels like one of them, saying that it was only a small top that stood in the way.
