I dedicate this post to my beloved Wife

Hey Dads,
I think that sometimes I take being a dad to seriously, in the recent weeks I have learned some very valuable lessons about that, but if I am going to tell this story, I have to back up a little. Three weeks ago it became apparent that I did not really have a future with the company I had been working for and they made it clear that they were not sure I could be molded in to kind of person they wanted, so I left. This has been hard on my family because I am the sole provider, and with my income gone we are facing hard times. During all of this I have worked very hard to keep in close contact with my children in order to be emotionally there for them as they see their parents very stressed, but like I said at the beginning of this post, I have been taking my job as dad too seriously. I have been so concerned with making sure that my children had have enough emotional support that I have been neglecting my wife, and consequently not been giving her the reassurance that a husband in this situation needs to be providing.
It is interesting that at times I get so caught up in being a dad that I sometimes am not able to remember what it means to be a husband. My wife is a very special woman, and the realization that I may have taken her love and her support in this situation for granted is kind of disturbing to me. I don’t like that idea that I am responsible for a great deal of the stress that my wife is currently under. I think in all truth I have been hiding with my children because I feel so ashamed for having left my job. It was not something that I wanted to do, and I have not enjoyed being unemployed however it is simply were I am right now this instant.
I know that she will read this posting and I guess all I can really say is I’m sorry and I am going to do better in the future.
