I am not even really upset with myself for my previous lack of understanding and more black/white perception of the world. While I may wish that some things were different, I can extend myself grace because I understand that my understanding is now different, and I can make different choices based on my new understanding.
Wow. Thank you for that. You sound a lot like my wife. I understand that I couldn’t be here without having been there. I have been spending the last couple of years building and tearing down blocks. It’s so strange because I was certain that I’d never be here and now that I am I see how ignorant I was then.

You should at least cut yourself as much slack as you extend to god. Just sayin’
The way I frame things is that I view things differently now… but the way I viewed them before wasn’t wrong, it was what I needed at the time. Now I need something different. The path behind me is a good path, it led me to where I am today.
