About 2 weeks ago my (now) ex housemate & i got in a physical fight. The paragraph below is the police report that showed up in our town paper. (So everyone that i know, knows now). This report is from her version. I do take responsibility for what has happened but I'm starting to feel very conflicted with how i feel internally & about my well being (self image wise). Yes I was the one who shoved her first (as soon as i did it, i regretted it immediately). She shoved me & i shoved her to get her off me. HOWEVER as the report states that i hit her several times & shut her hand in the door, i know i did NOT do that. She also mentions a witness, which there wasnt. Her friend was outside the apt & heard what was going on but saw nothing. My bf was at the apt but in my bedroom, didnt see anything but heard everything. Anywhoo that is my version. I dont justify that what i did was right, in fact i apologized to her through email, but had no reply. I am hoping that you'll hold me in the light, ask God for some guidance while I'm going through this. I have a court hearing May 6th, there maybe a 2nd trail as well. If this results in me getting charged I'll most likely have to go through ARD & be on probation for awhile.
In Light,
E
