well you know what i would have done (and i highly dont' suggest doing this because it WILL result in you being taken through alot of legal shit and her walking away basicly) i would of punched her back...i don't give a fuck who they are...no one is going to hit me and get away with it....that's about the only time i set karma aside and take matters into my own hands...once abuse starts and it goes un-fought against it just continues and continues....fortunately, no one that i've been close to has ever hit me (other than my brother but who hasn't fought with their brother/sis from time to time?) i have a really laid back attitude and can take alot of shit, but when you put your hands on me it's fuckin over all hell is going to break loose and i'm not going to stop til one of us is laying on the ground profusely bleeding. only thing is i don't pick fights and try to avoid them at all costs....because i'm either gonna be in the hospital, or it's going to be the other person in there.
