RE: I want to write... but I'm too disgusted with myself to begin...

It’s hard to feel useful and valuable when your training in the military isn’t applicable to civilian life. Take your time and do the best you can at being a stay at hone dad. This is a valuable job most fathers would give their left nut to spend more time with their kids. Be super proud of your wife and her ability to gain a PhD and have a great income to support your family. This doesn’t make your contribution less valuable.
Writing was never one of my strengths but I enjoy sharing the pictures I’ve taken along the way.
Stay strong brother.

Very good point about not taking the time spent with the kids for granted. I suppose I do that from time to time.

Definitely proud of the wife, but I get the distinct sense the feeling is not mutual. I'm more "unemployed" than anything, in her mind. Probably a major source of the conflict to begin with.

Thanks for the kind words, brother!
