We all have a story to tell but some are deeper or experienced than others...but a story none the less. I believe the decisions and the choices you make are what define you and drive your future. God has created us with that intention, to choose. Sometimes our circumstances leave little room to make desired choices but we can reflect, react or rebound. I choose all of these. As you said, we should look back only to see how we got to where we are, but not to return or long for the past. We should consider where we are headed so that we can set goals to be attained and give us that hope which God has promised. And we should consider NOW, because that's the only thing we can control. Each moment God gives us is an opportunity to choose the next step. The wonderful thing is He is always there ready to assist and direct us so that we don't mess up. And when we do He doesn't point His finger but uses his mighty had to lift us up and send us on our way. Your strength to make the choice to leave your dangerous environment was admirable. I realize it was difficult to leave someone you had become dependent on, a dream you hoped may still be reachable if only he would change. But you can't make others do anything and only you can change your circumstances by your choices.
