<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the impact of fatherlessness on the self-concept of girls in families. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method. The research informants consisted of one girl as the primary subject and the mother as a supporting informant. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews and documentation to obtain a comprehensive picture of the subjects' experiences and the dynamics of family relationships. The results show that fatherlessness has a significant impact on the formation of girls' self-concept. In terms of self-confidence, children tend to feel doubtful and less confident in their abilities. In terms of self-esteem, children feel less cared for and tend to be withdrawn. In terms of emotional management, children are not yet able to manage their emotions optimally and often suppress their feelings. In terms of motivation and self-development, children show low internal drive and a lack of confidence in their potential. Meanwhile, in terms of social relations, children tend to be cautious, selective, and have difficulty trusting others. Thus, the absence of a father's role influences the formation of girls' self-concept comprehensively, both psychologically and socially. ]]>
