Discussing different approaches towards social phenomena, the article deals with one aspect of transnational families, namely teenagers’ experiences after their parents’ leaving for work abroad. A narrative mode of cognition (i.e. narrative methodology) was chosen to verify the existing dominant narrative about teenagers’ negative attitudes towards their parents’ emigration. Because of the ethical issues of interviewing teenagers, six young adults were involved in the research instead. During the research semistructured interviews were conducted and the collected data were analyzed by using structural and interpretative narrative approaches. Recollections of adults’ stories about their teenager experiences were organized into three coherent narratives: stories related to a changing family model, personal growth and ambivalent feelings. By connecting the meanings constructed by all the coherent narratives, a meaning different from those described in paradigmatic studies was extracted. A narrative approach towards the understanding of the phenomenon enabled us to demonstrate the multiplicity of teenagers’ experiences: on the one hand, their difficulties encountered in the change of their role in the family, the different mode of communication, their sadness and anger due to the situation and, on the other hand, happiness about the freedom, pride of their parents’ trust in them and their willingness to grow up fast.
