Do you think your past determines your present or future?

I don’t believe that your past determines where you’ll be in the future but is there to grow upon and learn new things. I had a mixed past with good and bad experiences. All filled with different choices to make. When I made choices that helped me succeed I moved forward. When I decide to let the bad haunt me or endulged in negative behavior I stunted my own personal growth. I believe every person creates their own destiny unless you’re in like slavery or a limited third world country but for most we have resources and choices. I can’t stand people waiting for the world to make up for their hard lives. My roommates brother is like that. Everything he does is not his fault and he believes the world needs to make up to him for what he’s gone through 😓.

No.

But I do think the experience of past betrayal will always be a significant pain in the present/future

I don't think it your past has to determine your present or future but works needs to be done so that it doesn't. Even with positive work your negative past can bleed through so work on it.
