I didn't read all the other responses so I apologize if I am being repetitive here. I have two things to say and one or both will probably put a target on my back to some people. However, here goes.

Cinders, I am so glad to hear that you no longer find it necessary to apologize if you don't agree with people. First, IMP and Happy, I find it amazing that you hurl hurtful comments to people all the time and let someone say something you consider mean to you and you both jump. What you did worked for YOU it does not mean that in belongs in the book of the only right thing to do. I understand that you might actually be coming from a place of attempting to be helpful but you come across as being a know-it-all and it is just plain not helpful in this situation. Secondly, men and woman process things very differently. All research tells us that men feel they must do something (in other words, they have to put something into action to solve a problem). Women are talkers in order to process and find the right solution, they need to talk it over, vent, and feel heard. You can't push your way of doing things on us...it won't work the same. So accept that your opinions will be listened to and added to the others and mulled over and talked about before you will see any action. So try not to be so pushy with your opinions.

Cinders, you will be fine, your choices are not always wrong, I have watched you evolve and I am envious of your patience and ability to see things of more than one angle.

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.
