Turning the Tide: Response and Aftermath of the “Potato” Assault

Post 104 – Turning the Tide: Response and Aftermath of the “Potato” Assault

After gaining strength, I flipped Jeff off of me and was able to get on top, face down.

He challenged me by saying, “Do it,” and I responded, “Give me a reason.” He then said, “I’m dead anyway,” referring to himself.

I removed my foot from his back and went to the kitchen to calm down. Jeff followed, verbally escalating and coming at me again.

In self-defense, I picked up an industrial-size microwave and threw it at him as he turned away, hitting him.

Later, Jeff claimed to have scratch marks down his back, although I am unsure of how they were caused.

Tactics Breakdown – Survival and Self-Defense

  • Self-Defense: Using available means to protect oneself
  • Verbal Challenges: Recognizing and responding to psychological intimidation
  • Escalation: Understanding the cycle of violence and response
  • Aftermath: Dealing with physical and emotional consequences

Empowerment Through Action

Standing up for yourself during violence is a powerful act of survival.

If you or someone you know is in danger, seek help and know that support is available.
