As if I didn't have enough to worry about, Jake decided he needed to go on a two day bender. I called the other night to make sure he was checking on my bromeliads, and he was absolutely incoherently drunk. I told him I would call back the next morning, and when I did, he was still drunk. What on earth is that man thinking? Since when did he start drinking heavily? He's never in his life done anything like that before. I have a hard time getting him to have a glass of champagne on New Year's Eve; in fact this year he didn't have anything at all to drink. Said he didn't want to because I couldn't, and it wasn't fair to drink in front of me.

What is his problem? What if something happened to him? What if he gets drunk enough to get in his car and try to drive? I can't take another months-long stint at the hospital, crying and waiting and praying and worrying. If anything happened to him I would be completely bereft - and completely furious.

Where is the man I married? That man calling himself Jake is a stranger. He's an imposter; a pod person who has taken over the life of the good man whom I promised before God to love, honor, and cherish, till death do us part. The way things are going now, the moment that death parts us won't be far off at all. I tell this to my dad and he smiles and pats my hand and says everything will be ok. I know he doesn't understand. Our roles have reversed, and I am the parent. I am the parent to my father, to my unborn child, and to my estranged, drunken husband.

I can feel the baby move inside of me almost every day. I need to be sharing the moments with a man who cares and loves me. Jake needs to pull his head out from where it is so deeply buried that it will take the jaws of life to extract it. There is no shame in having problems. There is shame in having problems, refusing to do anything about them, and wallowing in self-pity. And booze.
