This narrative qualitative study investigates how Filipino mothers with histories of abuse develop resilience through motherhood within their everyday realities. The purpose is to explore the psychological mechanisms and cultural factors that enable these mothers to transition from trauma to transformative caregiving. Utilizing a narrative inquiry approach, the researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with five survivor-mothers in Lucena City, selected through snowball sampling, and analyzed the data using thematic narrative interpretation. Findings reveal that motherhood serves as a vital turning point, awakening inner strength and a commitment to breaking intergenerational cycles of violence through gentler, communicative parenting. Despite financial struggles, participants navigated trauma by leaning on informal safety networks - such as siblings, neighbors, and kumares - and drawing courage from faith and their children. The study concludes that parenting functions as a space for identity reconstruction and healing, culminating in the development of the PagHILOM program. Research implications suggest that local government units and social workers should integrate these culturally grounded, informal support systems and spiritual strategies into formal trauma-informed parenting interventions to better support long-term maternal recovery.
