Several studies show that children from broken </span> <span lang="IN">- </span> <span lang="EN-US">home </span> <span lang="IN"> family </span> <span lang="EN-US"> have complex problems. However, some children from broken </span> <span lang="IN">- </span> <span lang="EN-US">home </span> <span lang="IN"> family </span> <span lang="EN-US"> are found to be able to have </span> <span lang="IN">a </span> <span lang="EN-US"> good achievement and able to grow to be positive. They are able to build resilience in facing their family problems. Th </span> <span lang="IN">e purpose of study was </span> <span lang="EN-US"> to understand how a child from broken homes </span> <span lang="IN">achieves </span> <span lang="EN-US"> resilience. A phenomenolog </span> <span lang="IN">y </span> <span lang="EN-US"> study was used in this study. Interviews and observations were used to collect data. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;mso-pagination:none;tab-stops: 14.2pt 21.3pt 1.0cm 35.45pt"> <span lang="EN-US">The subject was a 25-year-old female. </span> <span lang="EN-US"> </span> <span lang="IN">T </span> <span lang="EN-US">he resilience framework which focuses on socio-ecological context was used </span> <span lang="IN">to </span> <span lang="EN-US">understand </span> <span lang="IN">how the subject achieved the resilience. </span> <span lang="IN"> </span> <span lang="IN">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. </span> <span lang="EN-US">In this case, </span> <span lang="IN">t </span> <span lang="EN-US">he resilience </span> <span lang="IN"> process </span> <span lang="EN-US"> began </span> <span lang="IN">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 </span> <span lang="EN-US">, cognitive, </span> <span lang="IN">and </span> <span lang="EN-US">social competenc </span> <span lang="IN">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 </span> <span lang="EN-US">resilience </span> <span lang="IN"> factors which include of </span> <span lang="EN-US">: (1) acceptance, (2) religiosity, </span> <span lang="IN"> (3) </span> <span lang="EN-US">cognitive </span> <span lang="IN"> ability </span> <span lang="EN-US">, </span> <span lang="IN">(4) </span> <span lang="EN-US">social competenc </span> <span lang="IN">ies, and </span> <span lang="EN-US">( </span> <span lang="IN">5 </span> <span lang="EN-US">) social support </span> <span lang="IN">. In this case, mature age seemed to be an important factor in achieving resilience since it reflect maturity in those factors cited previously. <o:p> </o:p> </span> </p>}, number={9}
