(((Rose))) - so sorry you witnessed this violent exchange and you did the responsible thing calling the police. I understand how a stressful incident like this can make you feel shaken and stressed for days later. I've experienced this 3 times - once with someone pounding on my window, another with 2 dogs chasing my youngest and a break-in confrontation that made me susceptible to future stresses.

You may need to get some extra pills just to take the edge off till you calm down. I had to do this when I fought off the dogs away from my youngest. At the moment you saw the man hitting the woman, you probably feared he would do worse and your body went into automatic reaction. Its all normal for you to feel this way but you did a good thing. Some people would of turned away and ignored it, saying "its not my problem or this is what some couples do." You acting responsibly and I pray you feel better soon.
