it all started over 15 months ago. My mum (56) began playing an addictive online game. (world of war craft) She would play this game all day and most of the night. At 1st we all thought it was just a phase she was going thru like when she used to play The Sims...but it wasn't. My sisters and I would go and visit & mum would be on that game. She would chat to us for about 5 minutes & have to go back to move the mouse so who ever she was playing with didn't think she was gone. Even if we rang her over an hour b4 we arrived to tell her we were visiting, she would still be playing that game. When she did talk to us, she would tell us about her new "friends" & she wanted to go inter state to meet them. So she did just that! spent a week in Adelaide with her new "friends". September last year, dad(60) came home from work to discover mum was gone! We only discovered she was living with her b/friend at christmas. He is 37.....dad doesnt beleive any of it, any advice would be great....

Maybe hes hoping that she will come back and she may do so just wait it out.

I really feel for you and your family,especially your poor Dad.It's hard as an outsider to give advice though, not knowing any history behind this such as,were your parents happy together before this? The feeling I get is that your Mom may have an addictive personality and also be a bit self-centred. If I were you, I'd try and "let it be",just see what happens. She'll probably come to her senses before too much time passes, unless she wasn't happy with your Dad in the first place,in which case they are probably both better off. It may take your Dad a little while to realize this,though. Good luck!
