I am back...and finding me

Hi Eric,
It sounds like you are a committed Dad. I do know that Dad's are as important as moms in their kid's lives. Have you talked to a DB coach yet? They are experts in helping you come up with plan on how to best approach your wife, so that it is more likely she will be willing to work with you on this and other issues that could be standing in the way of you having the relationship you want with your kids and her!
I wish you all the best.
