Ya know, I live in regret about how I've handled attacks on my character. Our first response when we are attacked is to defend. Our minds go crazy and we react.

I did that a couple of years ago with Stephs family, and I live with the consequences. The family I had hoped to grow with is gone, and the woman I loved was hurt beyond repair.

Our brains are a pretty fucked up entity sometimes. There is a fight or flight thing that kicks in when we are attacked. What we need to do is take a big breath, wait five minutes, and think about a measured response.

I didn't do that, and now I live with the results...
