Una oración por mi hijo que es adicto

Lo criaste. Sabes cómo era a los seis años, a los doce, el día que estuviste más orgulloso. Y ahora hay un teléfono en tu mesita de noche que revisas antes de estar completamente despierto.

Hay un dolor particular en amar a un hijo adicto: está vivo, y ya lo estás llorando. Nadie te trae comida para esto.

No tienes el poder de salvarlo. Nunca lo tuviste — eso siempre fue de Dios, y todavía lo es. Lo que tienes es el amor de una madre o un padre, y las oraciones más feroces de la tierra. Úsalas esta noche. Luego descansa.

Tres cosas que hacer en la próxima hora

  1. 1
    Si está en peligro esta noche
    Si crees que sufrió una sobredosis o está en riesgo de hacerse daño, llama a emergencias o a una línea de crisis por él — aunque se enoje. El enojo se puede reparar. Lo otro no.
  2. 2
    Deja el teléfono
    Ponlo a cargar en otro cuarto. Si te necesita, sonará. Revisarlo cada cuatro minutos no es cuidarlo; te está lastimando lentamente a ti.
  3. 3
    Busca a otro padre
    Los padres de hijos adictos cargan una vergüenza de la que nadie habla. Busca a alguien que entienda — un grupo, un amigo, un curso — y dilo en voz alta.

Una oración para ahora mismo

Padre, tú sabes dónde está mi hijo esta noche. Yo no.

Ve a él. Ponte junto a él. Sé lo único en ese cuarto que sea más fuerte que lo que está tomando.

Te lo entregué cuando era pequeño. Te lo entrego otra vez, porque sigo recuperándolo y ya no puedo cargarlo.

Manténlo vivo. Manténlo vivo. Manténlo vivo.

Y déjame dormir, solo esta noche, sabiendo que tú no duermes.

Amén.

"Reprime del llanto tu voz, y de las lágrimas tus ojos; porque tu obra será recompensada, dice Jehová; y volverán de la tierra del enemigo." — Jeremías 31:16
