When Others Hold Our Hope
I admit, there was a time when I couldn’t take the hope for myself. When Jake and I separated in 2010, I was a wreck. The first five years of marriage were hard. I felt torn apart, unable to catch my breath before the next wave (crisis, miscommunication, disappointment, hurt) pummeled me again. In May 2010, I told Jake that I was done. For the first time in our relationship, despite wanting to dozens of other times, I finally suggested the
D word.
Divorce.
I called my mom and asked her to support me if I chose a divorce. I asked her to affirm me, that I had done everything I could and that God would understand. To my surprise, with a gentleness and sternness that only my mother could pull off, she told me no. Divorce wasn’t the right choice. With my heart beating out of my chest and tears burning my eyes, I hung up on her.
