There is something similar to that but with no father.

The Twilight Zone (TV anthology series)
"The Long Morrow" (1964 episode)
Wikipedia synopsis:
Commander Douglas Stansfield (Robert Lansing), an astronaut in 1987, is sent to a planetary system 141 light-years from Earth. The trip will take 20 years each way. To save him the ordeal of 40 years of loneliness, he is to be placed in newly-developed suspended animation until he gets there then again for the return trip. The suspended animation will prevent him from aging other than the few weeks he would be at the distant planetary system. Before leaving, he meets and becomes enchanted by Sandra Horn (Mariette Hartley). However, Horn would be 40 years older and Stansfield would still be young upon his return. Stansfield goes on his mission, and, 40 years later, he returns. Ttragically, the job he was sent to do was already completed, using technology developed after he left. He thus returns a forgotten pioneer.
It is revealed that he voluntarily disabled the suspended animation system about six months into his journey so that he would be the same age as Sandra when he finally returned. Unbeknownst to him, she had placed herself in suspended animation so that she would be HIS age. In the tragic end, an aged Stansfield sadly urges Horn to live her new life without him.
