I don't understand why に is used in this sentence I saw this sentence in the second episode of the anime k-on
いつの間にこんな自立した子に...うれしいような悲しいような
the English subs said that it meant
She's all independent already.It makes me both happy and sad

2Which に? If you are talking about the 自立した子に part, なる implicitly follow.– Jimmy YangMay 4, 2021 at 3:21

As others pointed out, this is a case of omission. In Japanese, if the intent of the statement is free of ambiguity, you can cut out the rest.
いつの間に【この子は】こんな【に】自立した子に【なったのだろう 】。【私は】うれしいような悲しいような【気持ちです】。
