Abstract

Abstract. The increase in fatherless cases in Indonesia is alarming. Fatherless also has an impact on a girl's life which will affect self-esteem while self-esteem and romantic relationships influence each other. This study aims to determine the dynamics of self-esteem in fatherless women in romantic relationships. Phenomenological method is used in this research. The data analysis technique uses descriptive phenomenology (PFD). Data collection was done by interview. All participants were female and experienced fatherless and aged 18-25 years old who were selected by purposive sampling technique. The results showed that both participants experienced increasingly negative self-perceptions after undergoing poor romantic relationships. In contrast to participants three who experienced positive self-assessment, due to factors in the quality of romantic relationships. The dynamics of self-esteem in fatherless women have a similar pattern, due to the similarity of backgrounds, namely not having a close relationship with the father. The dynamics of self-esteem are also influenced by the quality of romantic relationships, the role of maternal support and relationships with friends.
