I was leading a group one day when a woman exclaimed, “Okay! I get it! I have had nine abusive husbands, and I am not going to get another one!” Another woman spoke up and said, “No you haven’t. You’ve had one abusive husband with nine different names. You always pick the same man, over and over again.” Ouch. Sometimes the truth hurts. In all of these marriages, she was the common denominator. She was able to find a certain type, with certain behaviors, and choose that man above all others. The lesson: She was playing a part in where she was.
