Abstract :
This study aims to determine the dynamics of the resilience of adolescents
whose parents divorce. The method used in this study is qualitative with data
collection techniques in the form of interviews and observations. The subjects in this
study were two teenagers with divorced parents and both were traumatized by the
impact of their parents divorce. The validity test of the data is done by triangulation
method. The results of this study indicate that the two research subjects can be said
to be resilient, despite the impact of parental divorce. This is because both subjects
have sources of resilience formation so that there is a balance between the impact of
divorce and the resources they have. As for some of the effects of divorce
experienced is the trauma of divorce from both parents, loss of father and mother
figure, and loss of trust in both parents. The second subject has good resilience
compared to the first subject, because the second subject fulfills all aspects of the
three sources of resilience. And the current subject has recovered from the trauma
she experienced and has a good relationship with Mom. While the second subject
still has trauma due to the divorce of her parents.
