How can I get it through my dad's thick skull that he has to actually TALK to my mom to solve problems? (Details)
She's in hawaii to visit our family since my grandfather (on her side) is very sick and my grandmother (on my dad's side) is in the hospital as well. She didn't call him one day and now he won't talk to her at all. She doesn't even know if he'll pick her up on friday when she comes home. I have a feeling that this might finally lead to their divorce, though I can't be sure. I can't tell him directly, he's such a damn hardhead. So any ways you think I can help resolve this issue? I'm already in the middle of it.

I know what you are going through. My Wife and I had a falling out back in May....she was cheating on me and I found out. I tried to end my life over it. The problem is not yours to have to work out. I too have a Daughter who is 17 years old and she is trying to fix something, that is unfix-able. Something has happened in their relationship, that has brought it to this point. My problem is, my wife of 23 years won't talk to me. Usually the person who is unwilling to talk is at fault for something they don't want to admit. Don't feel like you are in the middle and don't place yourself there. Grown ups have to learn to work things out on their own. Some of life's problems are too big to understand....even for adults, so let it work itself out. I'm sorry you feel this way. Be strong. (HUG)

They may have deeper issues than this. Best to just be supportive and hang back.

If he is a man, which judging by the description he sounds like one, then he doesnt know how to talk he probably prefers grunting and he probably feels hurt so his natural defence mechanism is to withdraw from the situation which only makes worse. You have to slowly pry him back out so keep on him and make him understand

Just go point blank at him and say it. Tell him how you feel and what you see. Then you've said what you needed to and it's up to him to respect it or not.
