wish I had the patience...

Typically, this blog has shown how my life in my own home has threatened to jeopardize my Naval career. Up until now. It has finally happened and I fear I am not fit nor capable enough to handle it.
In the last two or three months, since my big blow up after the last blog entry, my professional life has been under scrutiny. I work at a command where the only thing that is considered "mission" is submitting people to apply for the Navy as officers. My home life has become one where my wife has lost all concept and grip on priority. She was at her wits end with her job and mother's treatment by that job. She has long-since quit that job and I have supported her in that decision. Not that she has ever supported me in any important decision in my career. She has realized her salary has cost this family certain amounts and cannot come to grips with the fact that she has to remedy that loss. I retire fairly soon and will have my pay cut relatively by two thirds! This will have an extreme impact on our finances as she has no realized earning potential. This, in no uncertain terms, will end out relationship. I fear my 11 year old will suffer irreparable damage in her life, thanks to my wife's inability to do for her family financially.
