I can't get my dad's words out of my head

My family has been going through a really difficult time lately....There’s been a lot of stress and problems at home and i know my dad is exhausted... He’s been trying his best to handle everything and take care of us and I know he carries a lot on his shoulders.

Today i overheard him quietly mumbling to himself that sometimes he just wants to take his clothes, leave the house and leave everything behind.

I know he probably said it out of exhaustion..I know he might not actually mean that he wants to abandon us... I know he’s tired and probably feels trapped by everything happening around him but hearing it still hurt me so much.

I think what hurts the most is realizing that my dad has reached a point where leaving us and everything behind has even become a thought in his head it made me feel scared and heartbroken ..like Has he really become that exhausted?

I don't blame him for feeling overwhelmed...i actually feel bad for him because I know he’s struggling too but at the same time, i can't stop thinking about what he said and it made me feel strangely unwanted and insecure about my own family.

Maybe I'm taking his words too personally, but i just needed somewhere to say this because I don't really know what to do with the feeling.
