Mentally preparing my father for me moving out

I was going to suggest a puppy to keep him active, but 60 hour work week wouldn't be good for a dog with no one else to help take care of it.

I say move out but come back to visit on the weekends

I don't think there is anything particularly you can do to make it more painless, other than talking to him.

> Also he has to work 60 hour weeks to singlehandedly pay the bills now.
He has to work more now? Why? Something about the divorce agreements...?

Your dad should sell the house and get him a bachelor pad, son.

Visit him at least once a month if you live close by. Call him every other day.

This. He doesn't need a house for five people anymore. If he sells the house and buys something smaller, he'll have some left over from the house sales for savings and he won't have to work 60 hours a week.

being alone in an empty house feels much worse in a big one, since it feels "emptier"

My mother contributed a decent amount towards paying the bills as well, which haven't gone down a whole lot.

He should, but he's spent thousands of hours building and renovating the house (he's a woodworker) . Leaving it will be hard.

Good idea
