The return of the migrants is heterogeneous and multidimensional process which has varied effects, both in the lives, and in the relationships of those involved. The migration of the mother causes the restructuring of the family and the reassignment of the caring and providing roles, and opens the way for new habits and routines based on virtual communications. As she returns a destabilizing and conflicting episode takes place within the home. This paper analyses the changes brought about by the return from Spain of a group of Colombian mothers to the Risaralda area.
