I leave often to go to the mountains because I could not live an entirely domestic life.

It is just a day or two at a time but I realized at some point that this is what I have to do to be able to be a caring husband and father. If I don’t I will become depressed and miserable and no amount of loving them will overcome it. I am much more useful as a happy and functional human being 350 days a year than a miserable one for 365.

That's different from what the article was describing, though. What you do is just normal; you gotta take a break at times for your sanity.
