Ive actually never been accused of any crime where anyone was harmed. I know its hard to believe, but there are decent men in this world who have never hit a woman or went to prison for anything at all. You have a character flaw for getting in so many fights. And an even bigger flaw for hitting a woman, regardless if she hit you first. My past girlfriends have gotten physical on me and I never even thought of punching them, because as a mature decent man, i know how to handle my damn women without choking them or knocking them upside the head. Therefore you cant handle yourself when i woman bows up to you and thats why your fucking ass went to jail.
And shut the fuck up about embracing your past, that shit is what got you in trouble in the first place.
