This is a test of my growth and healing if I can summarize this nightmare without writing a book. I'll try bullets. This story is 2024/2025
- I punched a man after he choked me in a public bar with all my friends because I wouldn't shake his hand.
- Afterwards I single handedly -- because my city wouldn't budge -- ensured he got indicted for assault and eventually won a protection order against him. I heard he may or may not be on a visa and that only made me happier knowing he could be deported.
- I did all this because he tried to fight me in a mall when I caught him with my then love of my life and he lied and told me he's done and didn't know. Then days later he choked me in the bar for not shaking his hand.
- I wish he would have went to jail. I dislike how angry and vengeance fueled I was, but he humiliated me in the bar and afterwards convinced some friends that I started the fight and they abandoned me -- some friends pretending to be "family" they were.
- It ate up the better part of my life for the end of 2024 and all of 2025 especially with the court battles and appeals and fighting off my ex trying to defend him with a revenge protection order against me, I got justice and the narrative victory cleared to everyone and in court though. She lost her case.
- I wish he would have went to jail and/or got deported honestly and feel only guilt for how angry I was not for how far I went, but the confession is it was pure vengeance and anger.
- But I guess it's my karma because the ex I caught him with said she only wanted to be with me and was my ex from 2019 who then got married to the man she dated after me and reconnected years later. She told me she wanted to be polyamorous before saying she just wanted to be with me when things got complicated. I feel more guilt for being involved in that miasma and hurting that dude than this choking guy.
- At least we both (me and ex husband) are free from my ex and her craziness. No contact and blocked everyone involved including friends from this story.
- My life is rebuilt now and living peace as much as I can.
