All I want is serenity and day after day it's chaos, mostly on account of my severely emotional wife.

She has to have blow-outs with children on a daily basis or she goes out of her way to misunderstand me so she can have a blow out with me.

I work six days a week, physical labor. The 3 kids are 12 and under. She expects us all to satisfy an imaginary ideal world in which she fantasizes and cannot handle it when we act like human beings.

How do you cope?

I have dreams of meditation, fasting and enlightenment but instead I have crying, yelling, shouting, and drama everywhere I look and I have to spend 1/2 my day advocating for children.
