That's a really good question. I don't know why I feel compelled to "ACT" when I feel I am being threatened.

In retrospect, it probably didn't change anything. Actually, it has surely made this situation harder to negotiate. I guess I don't have the tools yet, or maybe I never will, to be able to process my anger and control my actions.

Maybe that is it. I don't know. However, I own my mistakes. I know what I did wrong in the marriage, and I accept the accountability of how it affected my life. That much I get.
