Abstract

Even the most ideal families experience conflict from time to time. Conflicts can also happen when family members have different views or beliefs that clash. As problems arise, every family has its own way in managing family conflicts and even couples must face them together by managing these conflicts. But because the wife is the one being left behind in taking care of the family, she is the one who mainly chooses the best way to manage the issues and conflicts within the family. With this, the study focused on identifying the family conflict management of left behind Overseas Filipino Workers’ wives. In order to achieve this goal, 10 left behind Overseas Filipino Workers’ Wives were interviewed. The researchers made use of a semi-structured interview. The responses were then analyzed and synthesized by the researchers. Themes were constructed based on their responses as well. Results showed that most left behind OFW wives encounter conflicts with their children. Mostly, the conflicts they experience were caused by the structure of the conflicts. These conflicts have the most evident effect to the emotional aspect of the left behind OFW Wives. They manage these conflicts mostly through Communication and especially through Understanding. Considering the results that were gathered through the respondents, OFW families would be able to analyze, identify and improve the way they deal with the conflicts they experience. In light of the results presented hereby, the researchers suggest that a further analysis be carried out based on the present data obtained.
