When, one's adrenaline gets going there are two options fight or flight. You always have the option to walk away. There is a time and a place for both. This was a walk away situation. Now, if you are unable to do the healthy thing, then maybe you need to get more intensive help with your emotions. I have done things that were potentially dangerous in less obvious ways and still knew I was a danger to people (i.e. driving so fast that I hoped I lost control of the car) and decided okay I need help, someone is going to get hurt. I put someone else in control and checked into the hospital. If you can't control yourself put someone else in control please. You never know how this all could have backfired. Like someone else posted hitting a woman can get people really upset. What if a loved one of hers came back with a gun for revenge? All I am saying is be safe please, for everyone involved.
