I am a short, weak-looking woman. But I once assaulted a young teen-aged boy who threw an apple at my car. I drove down an alley after him really fast, stopped and jumped out and chased him down. I cornered him in by a fence and pushed him down. I kicked him a few times in the abdomen and arm while he was down. Then I got in my car and drove away. I was a wreck about it for months. It spurred me to go to counseling for my "anger" but I never did tell the counselor this story. The shoes I wore that day, I had to throw them out soon after-I couldn't look at them. At the time, it didn't seem that I hurt him very much (He got right up). But I sometimes imagine that maybe it was worse than I remember. I think of that movie "Short Cuts" where the little boy died after Lilly Tomlin hit him with her car and she goes on with her life oblivious.I wonder where that kid is now. This is the only secret I keep from my husband. It is the only thing in my life I am ashamed of. Confess ID: u1gpvhs2        Posted On: 26-Oct-2008
