Abstract
The increasing rate of divorce in Indonesia has raised concerns about its psychological consequences on children, particularly those from broken homes. This study aims to analyze the impact of parental divorce on the mental health and social adjustment of affected children and to explore the emotional responses that emerge after family separation. A descriptive qualitative method was applied in Jatisrono Village, Semampir District, Surabaya Regency. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participatory observations, and documentation, involving four child informants who experienced parental divorce.Thematic analysis produced three dominant themes: (1) emotional instability, characterized by prolonged sadness, anger, and feelings of loss; (2) social withdrawal, indicated by difficulties in interacting with peers and reduced participation in social activities; and (3) academic decline and low self-confidence, reflecting the psychological burden of parental separation. The findings demonstrate that divorce significantly influences children’s emotional well-being and social functioning. This study emphasizes the need for consistent emotional and social support from families, educators, and communities to help children adapt and maintain mental stability. The insights gained can guide the development of preventive and rehabilitative programs to minimize the negative psychological effects of divorce on children. The findings highlight the crucial role of emotional and social support from families, educators, and the community in helping children adapt and maintain their mental well-being after parental divorce.
