A challenge in Colombia, since the signing of the Peace Agreement with the FARCEP, is to reweave the broken links between ex-combatants and society, an aspiration present in proposals for disarmament, demobilization, and reincorporation; reconciliation and mental health. From qualitative research with ex-combatants, family members, and neighbors, aspects related to the entry, permanence, and reincorporation, and the contradictions of the return to civilian life are presented. Non-compliance, uncertainty, absence of a narrative of co-responsibility, stigma, and re-learning of the codes of social life, among others, are examined from daily encounters with receiving communities in rural contexts.
