Seeking Advice: My Father Left Our Family – What Should We Do?

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m in need of some advice and support regarding a challenging family situation. My name is Ellie, and my father, Juan, is 57 years old. A while back, he made the decision to leave our family. This has been incredibly hard on all of us, especially my mother, Lillian.

In response to his decision, my mom gave him an ultimatum. She allowed him to move out of our home for six months to figure things out. This period is supposed to give him time to think about his choices and what he truly wants. However, this situation has left me feeling lost and unsure of what to do next.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone has been through something similar or has any advice on how to cope with this. How can I support my mom during this time? What should I do to process my own feelings about my dad’s decision? Any tips on how to communicate with my father during this period would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Your advice and support mean a lot to me.

Best regards,

Ellie
