Divorce in Indonesia has considered to be a stigma. The stigma does not only affect the spouses, but also their kids. This qualitative study explored the viewpoint of Indonesia teenagers in dealing with parents’ divorce. There were 20 teenagers between 18 to 19 years old who were interviewed. The findings shown that they felt self-pity, blaming the parents, and disappointed as the result of their parent’s divorce decision. During the teenager’s acceptance process, their single parent had done the interpersonal communication to explain the reasons for divorce simultaneously. Their interpersonal communication messages about being whole-hearted, accepting God's destiny, respecting the elder and upholding harmonization among family members, helped them to deal with parents’ divorce
