Ir sounds to me like you have reached the first and most important stage. Yes, of course the cliche exists "better the devil you know" for a reason, because change in itself can be scary.
But you sound so much more grounded than you did when I first saw you posting. It has taken time to get to where you are- between two worlds. But at least you can now see those worlds and make a powerful choice. Being who you are becoming will get easier. And we never forget who we were. Don't forget the other cliche...
"Those who forget the past are destined to re-live it."
That you don't need. I know I've learned a ton of painful lessons (jeez, I don't like to even think of my experiences as "lessons", but it's the easiest way to express myself without story-telling, isn't it?!). I try to remember NOT to "be" the bad things I've done, but to strive to never do them again...
I hope you never feel the need for the jagged shard again. Keep up the good thoughts.
