A father seeks advice after his daughter attempted suicide, citing her fiancé's and his family's abandonment as a major issue. The daughter has been hiding her struggles, leading to her situation. The father supports her decision to end the engagement, expressing concern for her well-being and emphasizing the need for counseling. Dear Abby advises patience and the importance of professional help, noting that the fiancé's reaction may ultimately highlight the need for the daughter to move on from that relationship.
Your daughter's fiancé and his family may have done her a favor by demonstrating that in a crisis they would disappear. What your daughter needs now is intensive counseling to help her deal with the issues that drove her to attempt suicide.
I have advised her that the best thing she can do in the long term is end the engagement and never see this fiancé or his family again. They have shown themselves to be horrible people.
