I punched a man after he choked me

I pursued justice in the legal system, getting him indicted and a protection order against him. I'm still angry and feel guilt for my vengeance fueled actions.

What I wish I knew
"I wish he would have gone to jail and/or gotten deported."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't let anger consume you, seek justice through the right channels."
