Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forgiveness process among emerging adult women who survived childhood sexual violence within the family environment. Intrafamilial sexual violence is a traumatic experience with long-term effects on survivors’ psychological functioning, particularly because the perpetrator is often a close person who should provide safety and protection. The impacts include anxiety, fear, prolonged trauma, difficulty trusting others, self-blame, and barriers to developing interpersonal relationships. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to gain an in-depth understanding of participants’ subjective experiences. Participants were selected using purposive sampling with the criteria of emerging adult women who had experienced childhood sexual violence perpetrated by close family members. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the forgiveness process is complex, gradual, and nonlinear. Most participants remained in the uncovering phase, characterized by dominant avoidance motivation and revenge motivation, whereas benevolence motivation had not developed optimally. Forgiveness was understood more as an effort toward self-healing and releasing emotional burden than as reconciliation with the perpetrator. Factors influencing this process included the severity of trauma, the relationship with the perpetrator, social support, religiosity, and the individual’s ability to make meaning of the traumatic experience. These findings underscore the importance of trauma-informed approaches in psychological interventions for survivors of intrafamilial sexual violence so that psychological recovery can occur in a more adaptive and sustainable manner.

Abstract

Domestic violence has psychological consequences for wives, yet less attention has been given to how wives in Indonesia make meaning of depressive symptoms while remaining in abusive relationships. This study explored the lived experiences, psychological dynamics, and meaning-making processes of wives who experienced depressive symptoms in the context of domestic violence. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, three wives who met the study criteria were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, DSM-IV-TR-based depressive-symptom screening for eligibility, triangulation with significant others, and member checking. Data were analyzed using phenomenologically oriented thematic analysis through significant statements, meaning units, theme development, intracase analysis, and cross-case analysis. The findings showed that psychological violence was the most dominant form of violence. Depressive symptoms appeared through sadness, sleep disturbance, self-blame, loss of interest, emotional exhaustion, social withdrawal, helplessness, and loss of hope. These symptoms were shaped by repeated violence, limited support, economic dependence, children, and sociocultural expectations surrounding marriage and motherhood. This study contributes to a phenomenological understanding of how domestic violence may be internalized into negative meanings about the self, the marital and social environment, and the future. Support should integrate safety, legal protection, psychological care, social support, and economic empowerment.
