This research was composed by ten women, mothers, who constituted a monoparental family, living in urban periphery. Data were collected through of semi-structured interviews and focus groups, both analyzed according to the thematic content analysis. The results pointed to an overload, due to accumulation of functions and certain attachment to the nuclear family model, generating feelings of fragility and dissatisfaction among those interviewed.
