#52: Dropping the Rope

This week on the RL Radio Podcast - we talk about a place a lot of women find themselves in: doing her recovery work AND his recovery work at the same time. While this might "work" for a while, at some point - she will be exhausted, worn out, and a shell of herself. So what does it look like for her to drop the rope if he isn't doing the work? And one note: dropping the rope and dropping the hammer are two different things. Jason got confused, thought they were one in the same - but they are NOT. We also talk about control and how Jason accused me of being controlling (which is what he accused me of when I so badly wanted our marriage to go in a different direction and yet he was in the thick of his addiction). The three to four things she can work on as she is moving toward dropping the rope: consistent and quality emotional support  financial stability or at a place where the finances can be surrendered working toward getting stronger and healing from within holding onto hope - see Hebrews 6:19 and Proverbs 13:12 Ultimately, she is going to get clarity by dropping the rope and THEN she can decide how she wants to move forward.
