Midlife Crisis
I think my dad's going through a midlife crisis. He's been way more withdrawn than he usually is, like he'll just go into his room and watch old war movies. He's been complaining a lot about his job, which I'd always thought he loved but I guess it's stressing him out a lot right now. He'll tell me things about our financial situation and intense stories from his early days in the military. Stuff that I wasn't aware of and while I'd like to listen and hear him out when he needs me, I'm not sure if I can handle all this at once.
I feel like I should talk to my dad about how he's been feeling or just do something about it because it makes me sad to see him sad. But I don't know what to say that would be remotely helpful. I don't know what he's going through exactly because I'm 15, but I can empathize with him in a way. Like, I hate school and when I'm home I'm very withdrawn from everyone. It's just strange to see that same teenage behavior in your dad.
Does anybody know what I should do? If I should do anything for that matter? Or I could just keep to my usual routine of letting him be by himself...?

I think it'd be a wise idea to talk to him about it. Tell him that seeing him this way is really bumming you out. Ask him what the deal is. Also make sure he is taking some time for himself. Make sure he has some me time. A little relaxation perhaps. That's all i've got for this one. Hope it helps ya. =]

I think you should talk to him and ask him wats really going on and try to hell him and if that doesnt work then you should talk to your mom or grandparents or uncle's and aunts about it and make a plan to send him away for a few days just so he can relax or tell him to take a few days off work and just sit at home and just relax maybe it will make him feel better good luck i hope i helped :)
