I am sure your Dad means well, but I just can't abide by his advice either. Doing those things would not make anyone happier. I am so sorry for your loss and I am glad you had some things on your positive list. Yiu are an awesome mom, a caring coworker and friend. I am sorry for the loss of your boss. What awful pressure for everyone involved.
KS Chick mentioned moving in with another woman. I may do the same thing. Take in a roommate or border to kepp up with house payments. Separation is devastating to the finances. How blind they are to put the children through one more upheaval.
About your Dad's work- I also feel pressure to leave a job I need for a job at my Mom's work which I would hate especially since that place is the scene where my H is philandering.
