Okay people, I'm in developement of a story with someone that wants to do a redemption story of a mid-age man seeking to reclaim his fatherhood with his teenage daughter. I'm at a loss at the moment in deciding from what perspective and background this story is going to be founded upon.

I'm thinking as of right now, a latent homosexual man abandons his wife and young child to seek out his true sexual orientation. But in his mid-age, he reflects on his decision and wants to reconnect with his maturing daughter.

Here's the PROBLEM: I'm not sure how to initiate his return? What brings him back? Why? And what struggles will him and his daughter embark on together?

Help!
