"My W and my brother got into an argument regarding my brother in laws mental state and quitting his job. She was stating he was depressed and needed to be on meds. My brother was saying that she didn't know what she was saying and he should be fine just suck up whatever was wrong and work it out."
While your brother was wrong to insult your W, she shouldn't have brought out his mental state in public. If she is the professional you claim she is, then she should know that she might get that kind of reception. Lets put it this way, if someone called you "depressed" and said you needed to be on meds, would you honestly listen to them?
I can see why your brother was acting the way he was. You should have also talked to your W and told her not to confront your brother the way she did. Just because she has a degree doesn't make her perfect. Oh wait a minute, she has a degree and walked out on her marriage. Doesn't sound like much of a professional to me.
"I stayed even though my W asked me to find other work. Because of this I don't get to put my kids to bed every night or see them every morning."
Bullsh*t. You're still doing and saying alot of things to appease your W even though she's not in the picture. Did you like working there? If so, then you have nothing to be ashamed of. If not, then it's your fault for not getting something better. Accept the situation for what it is and make things better. The past is the past.
