Abstract

A
parental divorce is a stressful event for children. Several studies show that
children from broken
-home family have complex problems. However, some children from broken-home family are found to be able to have a good achievement and able to grow to be positive. They are able to
build resilience in facing their family problems. Th
e purpose of study was to understand how a child from broken homes
achieves resilience. A phenomenology study was used in this study. Interviews and observations were used to
collect data.



The subject was a 25-year-old female. The resilience
framework which focuses on socio-ecological context was used
to understand how the subject achieved the
resilience.
The parents of the subject divorced when the
subject was four years old, then subject’s mother remarried three times. The
subject had stressors related to open conflict between her mother and father,
traumatic experience through witnessing physical abuse of step father, lack of
openness in communication with mother, and unsupportive friends.
In this
case,
the resilience process began when the subject was
already young adult. The subject’s understanding could help her in accepting
and coping the problem actively. It is supported by subject’s internal characteristics
including religiosity
, cognitive, and social
competenc
ies which developed as the subject grown up. The
openness in communication which get reciprocity from the significant other
around the subject has a role in achieving resilience. Therefore, the lesson
learned from this research are resilience can be achieved if the individual who
exposured the stressors coped the problem actively. It is supported by both of
internal and external
resilience factors which include
of
: (1) acceptance, (2) religiosity, (3) cognitive ability, (4) social
competenc
ies, and (5)
social support
. In this case, mature age seemed to be an
important factor in achieving resilience since it reflect maturity in those
factors cited previously.
