Abstract
Mothers raising children with developmental disorders take part in the discourse of motherhood constructed by society, despite often feeling uncomfortable. This qualitative study examined, through a case study dialogue, key concepts in understanding how to bring new words for escaping the discourse of motherhood. We interviewed a mother of a boy with developmental disorders who tended to blame herself and have no confidence in her child-rearing abilities. In the dialogue, she used some new terms for escaping the discourse of motherhood that we had not heard before. By analyzing the dialogue, we found that she referred to “uncomfortable talk,” “anger talk,” and “escape talk” in sequence, and memories of caring, which were unique to her, stimulated these new terms, which did not apply to the dominant model of motherhood.
