The line from your W. about missing the appointment is SO like my W. Zero defect. No room for error or human frailty....unless of course, it's her. I tried to explain to her that that type of behavior prevented me to get really close to her, but no repsonse. I once told my W. that my middle daughter would apologize profusely for small things because "no one wants to feel your rath"...My exact words. Her response: "So...I'm a shi&&y mother!" You will NOT be able to win at this point. By the way, if she's so concerned she needs to come home and take care of her son. I agree about staying in the cockpit: good choice. If flying is more than a job for you, and I would suspect it's half job, half passion, that would be a huge mistake. I almost tried to get out of this deployment. That would have been a huge mistake for me, but you do reach those points of immense panic. I understand that. Hang in there.
