I Do hope you see this for what it was. You are on the right track with her.
Take care of THE GIRLS. Your wife is on her own.
I think she likely exaggerated the girls issues too. Yes, they missed you but the fact that SHE misses you and SHE can't comfort THEM - ONLY YOU CAN - is the BIGGER issue.

Now perhaps this is just the way you guys speak but my first reaction was WHAT THE HELL? OF COURSE SHE IS 'NEEDY'. SHE'S 10, for God's sake!
A 10 year old NEEDS and MOM is ALSO supposed to know how to MEET that NEED. I'm sorry Frank. I don't really know why but that really burnt my biscuit!
Bottom line, you're doing fine where W is concerned. Just take care of your girls. I know you will
