This whole pregnancy/wedding has to be an psychological nightmare for May who has spent most of her adult life pretending to be a teenager. Most spend five to ten years figuring out a career, marriage, home, and baby the big forward steps in life but May gets to do it in nine months. Her career skill less minimum wage. Her marriage will be a wedding she did not plan, with no bridal shower, no brides maids, not even family, in a room with strangers who paid to attend. Her home a rental smelling of stale cigars, alcohol, and obesity. Where the only privacy happens when Ralph leaves for vacations she does not attend. Her baby is something she hides like a disease and once it arrives there is no more pretending, she is now an adult locked into a situation that is inescapable without massive support from family or friends. Neither of which she has. Even if she has accepted the situation processing it is another matter. At some point the permanent nature of this new life will hit like a tidal wave of emotions all at once. Maybe it happens right after the baby, maybe in a few years, maybe even more than once. How anyone can handle that without a family member or close friend to lean on is beyond me. May could be the catalyst for the next Ralph family meltdown. It isn't a matter of if she will have an emotional break down but when.
