I am sort of thinking along the same wavelength as @CosmicRose. Does your father want more from his life? Not everyone is meant to be super social. Are you a very social person? Are you extroverted yourself? I'm not saying that is definitely the issue, but as an introvert myself, I oftentimes feel pressure from extroverts to be a certain way, when they don't really know what is best for me. (My apologies if this isn't the case at all.)
