I picked my son up from school today and when I was putting my 2 kids in the car my husband showed up out of nowhere. I guess he had an appointment nearby and had tried to call me to see if we wanted to have lunch. I had left my phone in the car so I missed his call.
But as soon as I saw him my heart started pounding - panic. "Am I sober??".
Now, I never once picked my son up from school drunk. But that's not the first time I've reacted like that. Another time he borrowed my car without telling me first and I had the same panicky reaction "Is there an empty bottle in the trunk??".
Obviously I was sober (4.5 months and counting) but how effed up is it that this is my first reaction to what should be a totally normal thing?
