<human>: Throwaway account because my dad is actually a redditor. I'm 23, in graduate school, going through prep for my first round of tests, when my dad drops the bomb that he has moved out of the house (he took the dog too). This was about two weeks ago. Although my dad works nonstop, my parents are financially secure, live in a beautiful house, and from my perspective, have a wonderful life. My mom has always been faithful and loving, but she also has a neurotic personality and can be grating at times. She says that she loves him and wants to get back together with him ASAP. She's been calling him nonstop and leaving messages, and he blocked her number. 

My mom has scheduled therapy sessions and sent my dad the time + place, but he hasn't shown up. Neither my mom or I know where he is staying, but I am almost positive that there is NOT another woman involved. His occupation is so all-encompassing that he barely has time for one woman, let alone two. Frankly, I've taken the perspective of distancing myself from the conflict- I've got my own set of goals and stresses right now, and I emphasized to both my parents that they need to leave me out of this. Obviously, as an only child, this is impossible. 

Today, my girlfriend and I met up with my mom for the first time in a couple weeks, and she had an emotional breakdown in front of us. Sobbing, barely able to get herself out of bed, just a complete wreck. I want to help her, but with my own limited time, I'm not sure how. I want her to help herself. For 25 years she's been completely dependent on a man, and now she's in a massive house alone. She has literally been sitting on the couch waiting for my dad to pull in the driveway. She only has a couple friends, and I'm not entirely sure they can be relied on. 

What can I do to help my mom get back on track? I want to see her develop confidence and find something to direct her mind / energy towards.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Dad moved out, took the dog. Not returning phone calls. Mom is extremely depressed. What can I do to help her out?
