I agree. Getting violent then would have served no purpose, as I've said above. I don't think calling the police would have helped things any, except to add to my feelings of helplessness and embarassment. Calling 911 at that point would, I think, have been an abuse of the system. There was no emergency that required police intervention. It was over already. I'd already fixed the immediately problem by leaving, and at that point it was just a matter of dealing with my feelings, and there's nothing the police could have done to help me there.. I needed Grace for that.
