N2  - Aparental divorce is a stressful event for children. Several studies show thatchildren 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 tobuild resilience in facing their family problems. The purpose of study was to understand how a child from broken homesachieves resilience. A phenomenology study was used in this study. Interviews and observations were used tocollect data.The subject was a 25-year-old female. The resilienceframework which focuses on socio-ecological context was used to understand how the subject achieved theresilience. The parents of the subject divorced when thesubject was four years old, then subject’s mother remarried three times. Thesubject had stressors related to open conflict between her mother and father,traumatic experience through witnessing physical abuse of step father, lack ofopenness in communication with mother, and unsupportive friends. In thiscase, the resilience process began when the subject wasalready young adult. The subject’s understanding could help her in acceptingand coping the problem actively. It is supported by subject’s internal characteristicsincluding religiosity, cognitive, and socialcompetencies which developed as the subject grown up. Theopenness in communication which get reciprocity from the significant otheraround the subject has a role in achieving resilience. Therefore, the lessonlearned from this research are resilience can be achieved if the individual whoexposured the stressors coped the problem actively. It is supported by both ofinternal and external resilience factors which includeof: (1) acceptance, (2) religiosity, (3) cognitive ability, (4) socialcompetencies, and (5)social support. In this case, mature age seemed to be animportant factor in achieving resilience since it reflect maturity in thosefactors cited previously.
