本研究在探討面對離婚歷程的女性，如何與其社會支持系統互動，以了解彼此關係中「從溝通困難到較為順暢」之歷程階段。以質性研究的敘事探究法，採立意抽樣邀請三位30～39歲、婚齡10年以內的女性，進行半結構式深度訪談。並以「整體─內容」敘事分析方法進行資料整理，歸納核心主題與敘說經驗，得研究結果如下：
一、離婚歷程中與社會支持系統的互動歷程可分為五階段：
(一)表面和諧期：婚嫁從屬觀念限縮社會支持、延宕宣告婚姻困難以預留轉圜、原生家庭於婚姻宣告困難初期積極支援。
(二)衝突升溫期：衝突角力取代和諧表象、經驗認知隔閡引致關係錯身、代間衝突的三角關係模式、過往依附關係再現、原生家庭關係挫敗而轉向人際支持系統求助。
(三)高壓轉化期：高壓張力促進關係契機發生、分辨關係中「愛」與「相處困難」的本質不同、僵化的關係模式撤離。
(四)創造成長期：原生家庭系統中視角改變促進理解、原生家庭關係中的回饋與深化、人際支持系統中互惠成長。
(五)後設反思期：重新框架關係困難為成長動力、關係準備進入下一循環。
二、互動歷程特徵可分為以下七項：
關係的循環預備、波動期的蟄伏準備與重新修通、社會支持系統多元化的助益、專業支持系統的助力與阻力、緊密單親家庭的催化效應、當事人育有子女將遭遇更多關係歷程轉折、關係挑戰激發自主自助。
本研究結果顯示五階段互動歷程有順勢推進與退回修通之現象，提供面對離婚歷程當事人與其社會支持系統、實務工作者，以及未來相關研究之研究限制與建議。
The study explored the interactive process between the divorcing women and the social support system during a divorcing marriage. Meanwhile, the study tried to understand the positive experience during the interactive process. By purposive sampling, three participants who are all female, aged 30-39 and married under 10 years were invited to this study. The researcher conducted semi-structured in-depth interview with the three participants and adopts qualitative method, narrative inquiry method and “holistic-content” analysis method. The results are as follows.
The interactive process between the divorcing women and the social support system during a divorcing marriage consisted of five stages: Surface-harmony stage, Conflict-increased stage, High pressure transformation stage, Creative-growth stage, Meta-reflection stage.
The seven features of the interactive process includes: the hypothetical cycle of the five stages, the backwards between stages to work through stage missions, benefits of multiple social support system, positive and negative influence from psychotherapy, the positive effect of single parent’s original family, more difficulties for those divorcing women who have children, self-improvement from interpersonal relationship challenges.
The study shows the five-stage interactive process can be forward or backward. Based on the result, this study provides constructive suggestions to divorcing individuals and their social support system, counseling psychologist and also for the future researches.
