ABSTRACT- Our culture promotes the belief about women have to live with a family, a husband and how she has to rise her own family. In other ways, also in Mexico there is a tradition that men can fail on their duties providing resources to support their families, and they can go away from their homes, with no commitment. This situation promotes women that feel deeply depress at different stages because their husband takes absolutely no interest in his family neglected them they just run away. We talk also with women who feel resentment, rage, and anger cause of mental illness. What we found is the fact of an existential absence, no presence; no economical support is part of Mexican culture. Even though there are institutions and laws, which support them, it is no real that women feel social support. This research is a result of an anthropological approach which reports several and interesting although rich and deep responses using ethnographical and phenomenology tools and we use the hermeneutic-dialectic method to reach social which start from women like the home nucleus. How these ways of self being have evolutes through history, which ones are stereotyped which others are changing accordingly with a new consciousness from women their risk their beliefs in order to open themselves in some workplaces that we organize, where they can explore their emotions. What for? To help women get self confidence, integration, a way of development.
