I believe, and I don't say that anyone else has to believe this, that violence is a choice. No one is "forced" into violence and everyone who engages in violence doesn't get to justify it in any way other than understanding that it was wrong. I am fine if people try to make sense of their violent behavior, but I'm not a fan of the school of "it's all okay, we don't judge."

There is a difference between condoning violent behavior and saying that such behavior is a symptom of an emotional problem, and thus deserves to be talked about. Being violent is something that I worry someone could easily feel ashamed about, so just wanted to make sure that any who discloses that they did something like the op won't be shamed out of talking about, even if they did something wrong.
