Abstract

The growing trend of single-parenthood in Indonesia imposes full childrearing responsibility and unique challenges that significantly impact parental well-being. This study aims to explore how grit supports emotional stability and mental well-being among single-parents in managing dual-role demands. This qualitative, phenomenological study investigates how the psychological construct of grit supports single-parents' emotional stability and their ability to navigate complex daily demands. The sample consisted of three participants characterized by a background of divorce or bereavement. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings show that participants managed financial, parenting, and work-related challenges through persistence and determination. This grit is heavily bolstered by social support—through emotional and social support, which serves as a primary supporting factor that enables individuals to survive emotionally and maintain their mental stability. These results underscore the importance of resilience-focused interventions, including counseling support, peer-support groups, and community-based programs for single-parents.
