The sample was constituted by four single mothers and four adolescents. On the other hand, qualitative techniques were applied in order to provide the desired information. In analyzing the results, it was found that after breaking up with the couple, mothers began to play new roles. One of them was the struggling mother, characterized by assuming financial responsibility for her family. Besides, daughters assumed the role of daughter in charge of home because of the conflicts that have taken place at home. It must be taken into account that instrumental or hostile aggression emerge to solve conflict to fulfill the role. Through this study, it was intended to understand the whole conflict and its importance for the family dynamics. So, it would be possible to establish intervention strategies which fit the population needs. %K social representations %K conflict %K conflict resolution %K role %K sin gle parent family %U http://www.uelbosque.edu.co/sites/default/files/publicaciones/revistas/cuadernos_hispanoamericanos_psicologia/volumen12_numero1/articulo_2.pdf
