Stranger in Your Own Home
from PIPE DREAM PODCAST Hosted by Shawn Miller, Nick Gemmell
With Shawn getting back from the middle east away for work we thought it would be a great conversation for us to dive deep into the struggles a lot of face feeling like a stranger in our own homes when coming home after a long hitch. The rest of the family goes on with building their lives while when we are home we tend to just get into the way and all of those external relationships we are not part of as well. Nick talks about some examples as well of coming home unexpectedly only to sleep in and still wake up to an empty home when the family had previous commitments. These struggles are not unique only to our industry but those that do this type of work in the Oilfield definitely need to be aware that not only do we not feel part of our homes, our families are dealing with the same thing on their side. Learning to have some tools and open discussions with our partners and our kids is something most of us were never taught and Shawn and Nick go in depth on what has worked and what has not worked for us for you to learn from. Listen to today's TALE FROM THE TRENCH.
