Para esposas

Mi esposo recayó otra vez. ¿Qué hago?

Si alguien está en peligro ahora mismo

Ya has estado aquí antes, y por eso esta vez duele diferente. La primera vez fue shock. Ahora hay algo más pesado: saber que la esperanza tiene un costo.

Esto es verdad esta noche. Su recaída no es tu fracaso. Tú no la causaste, no puedes controlarla, y no puedes curarla — ni amando más fuerte, ni vigilando más de cerca, ni orando mejor. Eso no es un eslogan. Es el límite que te mantiene cuerda.

Se te permite estar enojada. Se te permite estar cansada de ser fuerte. Dios no se ofende por ninguna de las dos cosas.

Tres cosas que hacer en la próxima hora

  1. 1
    Asegúrate de que todos estén a salvo
    Si hay alguna amenaza de violencia o él está en peligro por lo que tomó, llama a emergencias. Tu seguridad y la de tus hijos van primero, siempre.
  2. 2
    No tengas la conversación esta noche
    Nada de lo que le digas a alguien borracho o drogado se recordará como tú lo dijiste. Di menos de lo que quieres decir. Duerme donde te sientas en calma.
  3. 3
    Busca a una persona que lo sepa
    Una amiga, una hermana, la esposa de un pastor, un grupo. Nunca debiste cargar esto sola — ni esta noche, ni nunca.

Una oración para ahora mismo

Señor, estoy tan cansada.

He orado por él más veces de las que puedo contar, y esta noche siento que nada de eso llegó a ningún lado.

Sostenlo — porque yo no puedo ahora. Y sosténme a mí, porque nadie más lo va a hacer esta noche.

Muéstrame la línea entre amarlo y perderme a mí misma. Dame la fuerza para mantenerla.

Amén.

"Él sana a los quebrantados de corazón, y venda sus heridas." — Salmos 147:3
