There was a significant difference between the overload scores of women who care for children with developmental demands. Moreover, the overload of women carers of these children is strongly influenced by the Social Space, in a polarized way, by the social, cultural and economic capitals. In this space, the woman, from her habitus, fights for her rights and her child according to the offer or not of these capitals. These women are victims of symbolic violence, which presents itself in a variety of ways in Social Space such as male domination, the myth of maternal love, prejudice and stigma that permeate the daily life of the child with continuous and complex care. It is recommended that health professionals, in a multiprofessional way, develop therapeutic plans for these women, considering that they are inserted in a Social Space that influences all their actions and interferes in their health and that of the child with continuous and complex care.
