SUMMARY:

Motherhood is still understood in an idealized way so that a protective attitude toward their children is always imposed on the mother. It is important to consider the unconscious processes related to motherhood and the aspects of gender, race, and social class, considering that all these aspects influence the motherhood process and support different ways of exercising this attribution, bearing in mind that depending on maternal experiences different paths can be traced along this way. As an exploratory investigation, a multi-methodological research with a single case study was used. The research took place at Casa de Passagem in Ceilândia-DF. Casa de Passagem is linked to Special Social Protection of High Complexity, in the organizational structure of the State Secretariat for Social Development of the Federal District – SEDES/DF. The study included the participation of nine mothers, between thirty and forty-four years old, all in situations of social vulnerability and domestic violence. The following research instruments were used in the investigation: Sociodemographic Questionnaire; the Risk Assessment Guide for Femicide (MPDFT), the Relationship Scale Questionnaire (RSQ), the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), and a semi-structured interview created by the researcher. The analysis of the results was carried out through the analysis of risk factors as formulated by the Risk Assessment Guide for Femicide (MPDFT); through interpretative analysis of the AAI and cross-evaluation of AAI information regarding women's relationships with their caregivers and the predominant RSQ attachment style. Finally, an analysis of excerpts from the semi-structured interviews was carried out, which aimed to analyze excerpts representing the maternal ideal, and the experiences of these women as mothers and daughters. The Risk Guide pointed out that six (6) women were at risk for femicide and two of them still maintained a relationship with the perpetrator of violence. Regarding the attachment styles found, we observed a predominance of the avoidant attachment style. In fact, we have 3 women in the group with fearful/disorganized attachment and 6 with avoidant attachment (6 participants). None of the women showed secure attachment. Through AAI interviews, life stories permeated by abandonment, neglect, helplessness, domestic violence and social vulnerabilities were observed. It is also noted that the exercise of the role of motherhood can represent, especially for these women, a way of repairing their own life stories, and that the rupture of coexistence with their children generates intense psychological suffering. It is necessary to formulate public care policies so that women are offered opportunities to develop their capabilities linked to the maternal role and that these are sustained with support and encouragement from the State.
