Lolanne, I am so sorry that happened to you. I would be feeling exactly as you are if it happened to me. In my view, you were quite brave. Very brave. As horrible as the experience has shaken you up, I want you to tell yourself how brave you were!

I won't go into any of my stories, but I had a couple car accidents I was involved in (or my husband and I) that shook me for quite a while, but you'll heal.

Who knows what that young man's situation is/was. He was obviously aggressive and not too bright about his driving. He could have points or even a warrant out for his arrest, or a revoked driver's license. Maybe he was high on drugs? Or unwell with a mental illness. With my mental illness, such behavior is possible. That kind of desperation can create danger. You are lucky that you were not hurt, physically, and that your car wasn't even damaged severely. It's perhaps better that he went away than hurt you further. Try to put the stupid things he said behind you. They clearly came from his own fear or aggression. He likely treats many people as he did you. I wish there weren't people out there that acted as he did, but unfortunately there are. Maybe he's led a pretty sad life, himself, during these years. I'm not saying that excuses his behavior, but I do believe it influences it.
