Like I said, she was a bad drunk. That time she also threw dishes
and a picture frame at me.
I 'm sorry to hear that, n.
U make your case well, with that explanation.
Did u re-consider whether to remain in friendship with her ?
If a girl did that to me, it might well
re-define her image in my mind; negatively.
nononono wrote:I could have easily been cut or even blinded if they had hit me in the eye.
Yes. I see your point.
Did u question the wisdom of remaining with her ?
nononono wrote:I locked myself in the bedroom until she wore herself out.
I guess that was the best thing to do;
no chance of peaceful discussion, huh ?
nononono wrote:If the roles had been reversed and she called the police,
they would've taken her seriously and I would've been in jail that night.
Yes. Did u
want her in jail ?

I know that from personal experience, but honestly that sounds more like something you'd see in a movie from the 1940's starring John Wayne then something that would ever work in real life.
I was thinking of some girls of my acquaintance
with whom it wud work, in my judgment.
I 've posted this incident a few times,
b4 your arrival in this forum (comment is invited):
Years ago, I took in Marilyn, to avoid her homelessness
from destitution. The 2nd time that she lived with me,
she had a 2 year old daughter, Nancy (not genetically related to me).
Marilyn told me one morning that she 'd drunk most of a pint of
161 proof rum and was preparing to take Nancy with her,
in her car to pick up a welfare check, then visit a crack house.
She was resolute. I chose to do my imitation of Gov. George Wallace
standing in my doorway, arms akimbo, blocking her use thereof.
She threatened to call police. I pointed to the fone and gave her
permission to use it to call police, inviting her to explain that
she wanted to drive drunk with her child to a crack house,
with an expired driver's license, expired registration, & lapsed insurance,
but that her landlord was obstructing her egress.
For some reason, she decided against calling. I was watching her
very, very carefully, ready to tackle her, if I saw her move toward
any of my weapons in the house; she did not. She gave up
(after she bopped me on the head with her radio; it did not hurt), obviating my grabbing her.
I was very, very serious about holding her down and not letting her
have access to any of my guns. Do u disapprove ?
