I know where you are coming from. H told me he didn't want to be married anymore and he was leaving me as soon as I finished school a month before finals of my final semester. I made it through...I don't know how but I am so glad I did.
Take a break and do something fun it will help you get focused when you come back...and pray...I wish I had way back then.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
