Yes, sometimes discretion is the better part of valor and a bit wiser, too. Hi Davina, It is a decision of the moment -- as is all self defense. Violence is as varied as any relationship, and yes, you are the inside person making the decision. Your decision will be different than a cop's, or mine, or that of a teenager. Hi Cindy,

Hi Davina,
It is a decision of the moment — as is all self defense. Violence is as varied as any relationship, and yes, you are the inside person making the decision. Your decision will be different than a cop’s, or mine, or that of a teenager.
