See, if I was with her this would not have happened. My first husband was Military Intellegence. It was his hobby to teach me to take care of myself, in subtle ways. I never go the same way to a destination. I never go into my house the same way, through the same door. I always get to a table first in a restaurant, and there is a particular chair I will pick, depending on the doors and windows. I am on constant look out of my surroundings and it has helped me on several occasions. And in Bars, I will always check for exits and bouncers. Bouncers are your friends in most cases and can help if all else fails.
These are the things a Step-Mom should pass along to a daughter... not the cooking and cleaning stuff, I'll leave that to her biological mom.
Her father even told her... it is a good thing that Kathi was not here or someone would be in the hospital.
I think I have convinced her that revenge is not the way... and her beautiful face will be ok in a few weeks.
And I have been corrected... she is only a test away from her black belt in tae kwon do ( as I understand this). Her BF is an Ultimate Fighter.
