Abstract

Migration is a complex phenomenon, it includes economic, social, family, and security variables, generating experiences that impact individuals from any space and socioeconomic condition. The exercise of distant motherhood leads to the development of important affectations, both for mothers and for their children, reflected in: emotional pain, anxiety, insecurity, sadness, anguish, feelings of rejection, etc. In migrant mothers, frustration is observed when assisting children from other homes without being able to take care of their own, they have the need to delegate their functions to their family of origin, regularly to their older daughters or mothers, as well as the distress of not providing the Accompaniment due to their children during childhood, feelings of guilt for not fulfilling a “good role as a mother”. The object of study of this investigative work is to present psychological strategies to improve the affective bond between a migrant mother who returns to the country and finds her adolescent child, there being a possible answer for this discomfort prior to identification. The epistemological support theory on which this research is based is the structural systemic approach proposed by Salvador Minuchin. The research, due to its epistemological ascription, responds to a qualitative case study, pursues a non-experimental cross-sectional design. The objective is to identify the affective bond that exists at the time of family reunification of migrant parents and adolescent children, proposing psychological strategies to reestablish family ties from the systemic approach.
