Abstract

In this study we look at the experiences of adolescents throughout the process parents' divorce. The aim of the research was to understand from its representations social experiences experienced by teenagers around their parents' divorce. Since in studies already done, there is a generalized tendency to see divorce only problematic situations, did not bother to see this from the point of view of adolescents, how they experience this phenomenon. We focus on teenagers to better understand this reality in order to overcome the reductionism of the approaches that only come in the divorce only problematic situations for children. In this work, in order to better understand the context in which the adolescents experienced divorce experiences, we analyze the parental divorce process. In that sense the data interpreted show that parents are motivated by different factors such as: violence domestic violence, non-fulfillment of the expectations of the other spouse, unjustified exits, to opt for divorce, although some do not receive this proposal passively. As for adolescents, in the analyzed data we found that the perception about divorce is influenced by subjectively lived experiences, while divorce sees a problem and a phenomenon that should not occur, others see in this same divorce the solution for the problems of the family that is in marital conflicts. With this, the data demonstrate that there are adolescents who, even in situations in which conflicts family members become unbearable it is more important to keep the family together and inseparable. We also found that most adolescents experience the experience of divorce of parents in a resentful way towards themselves and their family members who are felt on an emotional level and economical. We also find teenagers who experience the divorce experience of parents positive and timely elements to build new experiences free of conflicts intrafamily, and lead them to experience even better situations in which they feel that their parents pay more attention to each other, and there is also more understanding between parents.
