The master’s thesis focuses on the increasingly relevant and multifaceted topic of reorganized families, which are becoming an important part of the modern social fabric in Slovenia.
Reorganized families, which emerge after divorce, remarriage, or the formation of partnerships involving children from previous relationships, bring with them a range of specific characteristics as well as interpersonal challenges. The theoretical section offers an in-depth presentation of key sociological and psychological concepts that define the dynamics of such families, including issues of parental roles, the division of responsibilities, parenting approaches, and the development of new family bonds. The empirical part is based on qualitative research, using semi-structured interviews to gather detailed personal accounts of individuals living in these types of family structures. The analysis reveals a broad spectrum of life circumstances that members of reorganized families face, while also highlighting positive experiences such as bonding, personal growth, and the formation of supportive new relationships. The thesis emphasizes the need for greater societal understanding, openness, and systemic support for these evolving family forms. Opportunities for further research are also emerging.
