Chris' job as an airline pilot means that she works long hours and is out of town three out of seven days a week. She would like to spend more time with her spouse and children, but cannot afford to do so as budget cuts have forced longer hours with less pay and she fears she would be laid off if she does not fly the schedule and routes she is given. The time away is affecting her relationships with her family and the guilt and unhappiness she feels at home increases the stress she feels on the job.
What is the primary stressor affecting Chris' family life?
a) Financial strain
b) Lack of communication
c) Marital conflict
d) Inadequate parenting
