I think what's happening here is that Delilah is not used to working anymoe. She might of enjoyed being a stay at home mom for all those years. It might of been the most satisfying job of all for her. BTW, You know that being a stay at home mom is like holding 2 full time jobs right? :wink:
She's abviously lost interest in teaching and perhaps doesn't enjoy the pressure of being a dental assistant. That would be a very stressful job to have. Perhaps asking her what her heart desires where a career is concerned would be a good place to start. It's extremely hard to work in a field you can't stand. Maybe she's got something else that she might be interested in but afraid to maybe voice that or make it a reality.
She doesn't sound happy at all at what she's doing for a living. Pampering her a little and helping her out with the kids might get her to start opening up and talking about she dislikes with her job and maybe talk about what she would like to do instead.
I wish you both all the luck in the world and I really do hope that you two can overpass this hurdle.
