It's all to each his/her own... Some people's ways of doing things are different. If you feel that the only way to provide for your family is to be gone all the time, then do what you feel is best and what will provide for your family. Personally, I couldn't do it. I'd go crazy. But good luck man! Life has some wild curve ballz. I do have to agree with Cutter a little though. If I told my dad something like that he would deff snatch that stuff up and say " you better get outside and do something productive with your life!" I got plenty of that with my Sega!
I won't analyze you or try and preach, but I will say that you could probably find something closer to spend more time with your family. If that isn't a priority, then like I said, to each his/her own, and who am I to judge. Good hunting out there to ya bud!
