He finally go out of a job he hated after 25 years, but at the cost of us only being able to see him at weekends when he comes home. From this, I fear for my parents marriage. Perhaps this will make them stronger, and appreciate the time they do have together a little more... But I guess there's always a chance that it won't.I would just like to know how to support my mum through this? It wouldn't be the first time I had to be strong. There was an incident in 2003, where my dad was kicked out of our house and it was a very bad time. We got through it, but it was a very bad time. Thankfully, circumstances are much different this time around, but all the same, I worry about how my mum (and my dad) will cope through this.Any advice at all would be appreciated.

 I understand what you mean about ruining the marriage. My father used to go away all week and only come back Saturday afternoons to leave again Sunday afternoon. It was a hard time, but you deal with it. They are still together, my mum and my dad. You just have to be there for your mum when she needs you. Be it to cry, to laugh, to joke around, whatever. You just need to be there when she needs you. That's the most you can do.
Your dad will be happier. Just think of it that way. He'll be in a better job that he'll hopefully enjoy a lot more. Just be happy for him and remind your mum to keep smiling.
Wishing you the best.
