As a result, this study drew 131 structural meaning, 40 topics, 11 topic groups. This study showed that they have felt some traumas by divorce - confusion, misery, guilt, burden of raising children. They also did their best to support their children receptively and enthusiastically so that their children could choose and carry on with their careers. They also attended parental programs supported by social welfare organizations, and shared their conditions, showing that they are prepared for any assistance. Therefore they came to know inherent paternal love in them and were proud of themselves on their role of fathers while raising their children after divorce. Eventually, they have recognized themselves growing up more maturely through these experiences that give power to make their lives better in the future. In conclusion, divorced men who raise their children have overcome the traumas of divorce and have become aware of their paternal love and self-esteem. Based on the result, related discussion and follow-up study are suggested.
