How about you try to help him understand that his DAUGHTER would like him there?
Stop trying to make him feel something...
My guess is he feels
a. Sad she's leaving b. Responsability because he has to pay for it c. Frustrated in general
He likely is going to work to help him process... a LOT of men including myself WORK when we have feelings to wrestle with... we don't want to share them or talk about them lol
