Mom says I got in a fist fight with a kid when I was like 6. I don't remember it happening, and neither did he because we became friends later in high school and I asked him.

Also, self defense against my dad in my lower 20's. He decided he wanted to kill me, so he started loading his gun. Me and mom rushed him to get it away from him before he got it loaded. Then tackled me to the floor unexpectedly, and started pummeling me. I fought back, but I was just trying to get him off of me while he was out for blood. He eventually ended up sitting on my chest strangling me. I could tell that if I didn't stop him that he'd absolutely choke me out, and likely wouldn't stop at that. So I used all my strength to punch him in the face several times. That's when mom stepped in and grabbed my arms telling me not to fight back, and I no longer had a chance to hit him with her in the way, but he still had my throat. I don't remember how, but I managed to break free and get to the phone and dial 911 real quick. Then I got tackled again(he outweighed me by like 75 lbs). He took the phone and smashed to pieces. It sounds like a quick scuffle, but no, that fight lasted a long time.bid say at least 5 minutes of us pummeling each other before I got the phone.

He calmed down after that. Because he was afraid to be caught red handed killing me. Then when the cops got there he lied, and I told the truth, but they sided with him and told me I had to leave. I went straight to the Magistrate's office with mom and got a protective order against him. They sent a photographer the next day to get pictures of how bad I was hurt. They found wounds I didn't even know I had, like big bite marks on my back. I was pretty wrecked, horribly bruised all over, and bloodied up.

So, I suppose I lost. He's threatened the same again, but I'm not longer afraid of him and I won't let it happen another time. I think he knows it now, I've had to put him in his place a few times since and he saw that his intimidation no longer works.
