Parent relationships and family life is a dimension of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) that, according to previous studies, deteriorates during the childhood-to-youth transition in Córdoba, Argentina. To understand this evolution, we have employed sequential methodological integration. Through life stories of young people who participated in a study conducted between 2014 and 2021, we characterized processes of subjectivation in their family relationships. We identified conflict experiences with their parents, highlighting the role played by their mothers and grandmothers in family caregiving. In the qualitative phase, we identified family dynamics that contribute to understand the quantitatively observed deterioration.
