Abstract

Dominican women have represented a model of transnational female emigration in the last decades. But, they have already had several children when they have made a decision to emigrate, to whom left in the Dominican Republic with close relatives, until reunification in the country of destination. In this paper we show the modes of relationship between mothers and children in the distance; Parenting models and educational styles of children living without their mothers; The repercussions of affective deprivation; And family, educational and social impact at the time of reunión. We obtained these results in a descriptive/interpretative study, in which 180 Dominicans living in the Canary Islands participated, in which quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire and life stories.
