Maybe let your father live his own life as he wants it and don&#x27;t judge him?<p>(Ironically, that&#x27;s a common advice people give to parents regarding their kids).<p>Besides do you know what&#x27;s REAL melancholy for an &quot;older, divorced dad&quot;?<p>NOT partying at all, and not having people to love&#x2F;care for them. Second worse, would be only having boring older people conversations and pass-times. If they can be that relevant that even 20th year olds are OK to hang around with them, more power to them.<p>What would be indeed be lame would be to TRY&#x2F;WANT to party with younger people, and them rejecting you. Or partying with younger people but not being able to connect with another person out of &quot;party&quot; scenarios. Which I&#x27;d guess is not the case here.
