I have always had a quite good relationship with my dad and that´s why i am scared to bring this up to him. So thank you for praying for an opportunity for that.
My parents have had a serious conversation by now in which they discussed a lot of problems and it did not bring forth any changes at all.
I really am stuck between what they do and don´t have much chances to make anything much better.
Thank you for your encouraging words about how God is so powerful and is able to soften my dad´s heart just as in Paul/Saul.
God bless
Nothing is impossible with God.
You can even just Google "Christian means ministies"..There are lots online and just have a browse around and become inspired of how God change men...some may even have "prayer links"..where you can even submit a pray for you father too..
Ther are are also ministries for wives/women and again just Google.
There is a great movie called "The prayer room"...have a look on google to get review of the movie l...it is an American movie about a Christian wife who was really having problems with her husband/family life ect..and she just began to really pray ect..and God turned everything around..
So pls don't think things are hopeless

So my dad left yesterday night without saying goodbye to me and he told my mom he doesn´t know when he´s coming back. I´m hurt and I don´t know what to do and if I can´help my mom cope with the pain. Thankful for prayers and advice
I am praying for you and your mom and even your dad. I am so sorry to read of your pain from this tragedy of dad leaving without a word.
Maybe try to call him and see if he'll meet with you and explain.
Sometimes dad's can't talk to the wife but they feel they owe their child an explanation that is easier to deal with.

First and foremost though know this absolute fact. It is not your fault! You did nothing to cause this. And your parents love you.
Sometimes a parent leaves because they come to the conclusion they have to love themselves enough to get away from a situation they can't cope with. That's respectable because for a child there is nothing quite as impactful as growing up in a toxic environment wherein both parents are at odds with one another.

There's an old saying that I can attest is true from personal experience and it begins as addressing the father/husband in the family relationship. Your daughter will seek the life you gave your wife.
Parents are our role models.

I pray you find peace.

Thanks for these recommendations! I´m definetely going to have a look.
Don´t worry, I am not hopeless, my strength and joy is in Jesus:)
I will share a quote I love: "My life is not a response to any circumstance but the love of God"
That´s what I remind myself of :)
Thanks for your advice and support!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers! The support of all of you has helped me a lot.
Thanks for reminding me of all the facts that I need to keep in mind.
You are absolutely right about the impact of toxic environment. It is very important for me to remind myself that I have my own life and even though I am in a way coined by this, that with the help of Jesus I will be able to do better.
God bless you!
