My world view has been constantly evolving since I left my abusive boyfriend at 18. Since then there have been several major turning point where my view of god, my purpose in life, and my view of the world as a whole has been changed.
First, I began to rely on others less for my own sanity and emotional stability. My family in my later teen years was falling apart almost. My mother became more controlling, or perhaps I just saw it more, my brother became violent, and my father followed his suicidal tendencies with frequent repitition.
Second, when I decided to go back to college after a year and a half out. I knew that my purpose was to work with children in ANY capacity and that if I didn't pursue an education to help with that then I would not ever be completely satisfied.
Third, When my daughter was born. She was a light into my world, a wonderful priviledge to raise, and a heavy responsibility. Also going through childbirth and c-section taught me how strong I really was.
Fourth, My view of god and friends changed greatly when hubby came so close to death that the Dr's could not even make any hopeful statements for a while.
Last - a choice I made. The choice to try out swinging with hubby. It has been a very formative and strengthening factor in my marriage with hubby.
