Well, He Is Still Breathing At Least.

*Pins a medal on Laurie for his ability to keep his composure* Creepy but well done Laurie. I have had three of my sexual assault perps run into me... one occasion only each... and understand full well the importance and significance of not acting out. One of mine, I don't think recognized me, but I was at a customer service desk and "poof" all the sudden I had a name, address and phone number. Hugs, bro' too... I know keeping the beast in and not going full on rage and reaction was tough, really really tough.

What did you do with the anger you felt? Did you ever wish you had tickets to a fight to see them attack one another?

I struggle to get that anger out.

Laurie, what do you do?

I'm told to git a pillow with a tennis racket. But I don't want my tennis game to be tainted by the feelings. :)

I like tennis! (Notice how humor jumps in to save me from feeling my anger!)

Well for myself, I kept my composure and the first two times I had a melt down afterward. The third time I thought it was ironic and kept his personal information, along with the personal information from my "stalker" (which I obtained from running his license plate number legitimately under public domain) on my refrigerator for about 6 years.

Anger-wise though, I had bigger fish to fry by then as my life and heath were not yet stable. I don't look good in orange (the local prison garb)... so I channeled it (the motivation and energy) into recovery and healing. Sort of like an, "I'm not gonna let you rent space in my head or f' with me you sick so and so".

When I have confrontations like this my body goes in flashback, I shudder and twitch, develop tourettes and basically suffer body spasms for appox 2 days afterwards.

I would rather endure these than lose it and have to hand myself in for Murder!

I'd rather "see" my monster, than become one as well I guess, eh Laurie? (Me too)
