Remember when you said you had to leave? Where did you go?
gpt
I just needed some time to clear my head, so I went for a drive and ended up at the beach. It was nice to be alone with my thoughts.
human
Did something happen that made you upset?
gpt
No, not really. It was just a lot of little things that added up and I needed some space to process it all.
human
You know, I've been wondering about something lately. Do you think my dad left because of something my mom did?
gpt
I don't think it's ever just one thing that causes someone to leave. It's usually a combination of factors. But I also think it's important to remember that sometimes people just grow apart and it's nobody's fault.
human
That's true. Speaking of my parents, have you ever noticed how my mom sometimes cries when she's alone in her room?
gpt
I have, and I think it's because she's still grieving the loss of your dad. It's a really tough thing to go through and it can take a long time to heal.
human
Yeah, you're probably right. It just breaks my heart to see her like that.

I know, it's hard to watch someone you love in pain. But all we can do is be there for her and support her through it.
