Sorry to hear - what’s his situation, does he have you or other family nearby? Living arrangement?
Prayers up.
I am 66 and my wife turned mean 3 years go. Nothing I do helps.
Tell your Dad I will pray for him and when he gets thru this tough time, it will get better for him.
Stand by him. My wife turned one of my sons against me and tried to do the same to my second one. Fortunately, he was smart enough to see that she was trying to play him.
Prayers for you and your dad during this trying time.
Prayers up!
I’m sorry. I’ll pray for his peace of mind.
If he’s rich he should go find a sugar baby. Won’t bode well for your inheritance though.
Prayers up.
I am praying for your Dad ...
I’m praying. Encourage your father to read His Bible. If he doesn’t have one, buy him one. That is THEE way to hear from God.
Exactly the right place for a prayer request. Prayers up for your dad! :D
You will be happiest and you’ll do the best by him if you try as hard as you can to be there for him. It’s weird having the parent child relationship flip, though it sounds like you’ve already been in that movie once.
When my dad moved far away with his second wife, my wife was on me constantly to “call your father” every day. She was right. My dad got pretty ornery was he was old (as opposed to genuinely angry when he was younger) so dealing with him was no picnic. But my wife was right, and you’ll feel a lot less bad later. Do what you can for him, emotionally and financially if he needs that. Every bit of attention will help him and alleviate for you later the sense that there were things you could’ve done but didn’t.
Reads like your Dad has difficulty in selection winners. Probably best to stop. At 72 he will be having women bringing casseroles by in no time.
He should have no problem finding a nice lady who will love him. A single man in his age bracket would be a great catch for a lady about his age.
This may seem rather cold hearted, but my thought is that he is likely better rid of her now than for her claiming inheritance when he passes, given the negative way she must feel about him. As surviving spouse, she would take everything and who knows where that would lead for you. Yes, your dad needs all the prayers we can offer up requesting the Lord to bestow on your dad his peace that surpasses all understand.
I will keep your Dad in my prayers. Sad situation. He needs to know he has love around him, especially now that his wife left him. God bless.
Poor guy. We’re they married long? Praying things work out for him. Make sure she doesn’t take him to the cleaners.
Divorce is hard, no matter the age or circumstances. I went thru it myself over 20 years ago. Fortunately my kids all came thru it ok and are doing well in their adult years, and I’m the better for it. The ex is, sadly, still very deluded by the prosperity gospel and blab it and grab it folks, but I’m a traditional Christian, solidly old time Baptist and conservative. The Jesus of the Bible has been my Rock thru it all.
Prayers up
If his present wife is really that unhappy in the marriage, it is probably for the best that she speaks up right now. Better to express her true feelings now and leave, vs spend the next 25 years trying to make her husband feel as miserable as she now imagines herself to be. It’s harsh medicine to swallow, for sure. Your Dad will need to reinvent his routines and customs. Not something most older guys want to do.
Father, I ask in the Name of Jesus, that you give him peace that only You can give, that comes only from having a father/child relationship with You. If he does not have that, I pray that You make yourself known to him in such a way that he cannot deny the truth of You. Comfort him, I pray. Amen.
