Mom just sighed. “Okay. Well, I’m glad you’re there safe and sound, but please tell your father to call me as soon as he gets a chance.”
I promised that I would, but as I hung up, I was suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of exhaustion. I didn’t really want to deal with parental drama on top of every¬thing else I was trying to process.??

He has many things on his mind, things he is worried about, things he has to remember, etc. In short, things his mind is processing. (Think of the mind as a computer. What is the central part of a computer? A Central Processing Unit (CPU).

"trying to process" means 'trying to understand and maybe also respond to/deal with' everything going on in my life at this time.
