The risks and demands of PSPs’ jobs set PSP families and couples apart from others. These couples and families recognize the different ways they have to live and that they are sometimes considered “different” by the public. The demands and expectations of the job can sometimes also be felt by PSP families. Families can be celebrated, supported, scorned, blamed, or have their contributions unrecognized which can lead to feeling of ambivalence and/or conflict. PSP couples and families can be highly affected by both the public’s expectations and the levels of support they get from the organizations or the community.
