Summary/Conclusions • The descriptive phenomenological method afforded participants the opportunity to talk about their experiences on parental divorce. • Ordinarily, pain is a temporary part of life, but for most of the participants, the suppression of emotional pain worked as childhood survival skill. • Coupled with a strong support within the family and their individual sense of coping, many of them managed to recover from the effects of their parents’ separation and divorce. There are lessons to be learned in any life’s trial especially when it involves innocent children.

  18. Strengthen the Islamization of counseling. A production of an Islamic model of counseling is imperative to guide Muslim counselors in dealing with Muslim clients deal with their problems, Muslim children for one; • Guidance and counseling services of Islamic schools should be modified. • Conduct another study on children of divorce parents, yet those who are currently in the situation. A comparative study on the intensity on its impact and effects could be one of the variables. Moreover, the use of phenomenological approach is likewise recommended. Recommendations
