“my mom left my dad”

My mom left my dad after a fight, citing their differences and his need for a life outside of her. She also mentioned that cancer had a significant impact on their marriage.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to handle the situation and support my dad."
If I could tell you one thing
"If your parent is going through a rough time, try to be supportive and understanding, and encourage them to seek help from a therapist."
