This study examined the inner thoughts and feelings of the adolescents in coping with parental divorce and subsequent remarriage in Malaysia among Malay adolescents. The study also investigates how the pre- and post-divorce circumstances affect these adolescents. A qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews along with written essay questions was chosen as the method of the study. Five participants were chosen: one male and four females from Peninsular Malaysia were interviewed. Based on the data analysis, four categories with 15 concepts were extracted from the semi-structured interview and written essays. The four categories are Resentful, Lost Hope, Mental Conflict, and Maturity. The categories were abstracted from the pre- and post-divorce events. More negative than positive effects were detected from this study.enCopyright International Islamic University MalaysiaAdult children of divorced parents -- Psychology -- MalaysiaDivorced parents -- MalaysiaRemarriage -- MalaysiaMaster Thesishttps://lib.iium.edu.my/mom/services/mom/document/getFile/Wrv5MGycz4onGfNCFOOALgLSga1cfkfM20190424113059363
