Obviously, your gf is suffering greatly after this experience.

But clearly, you too are very stressed by this.

Take a look at the ring theory: comfort in, dump out

I truly commend your chivalrous instincts. But I strongly recommend against personally escalating any violence because the cost/benefit will likely be too damaging back at you, and also not effective in helping to heal your gf. To become more effective in getting through to people, check out: Marshall Rosenberg Communication

This used to be me.

First, I went to therapy. Depending on your culture, that might be a talk therapist, a psychiatrist, a shaman, a healer, a reiki master, a Zen Buddhist master, a rabbi or priest, a talk therapy phone line, or even a counselor.

One thing I realized in therapy was that I had TONS of pent up anger and resentment. So, whenever I would get into a situation that would cause me more anxiety than usual(I had pretty bad anxiety), everything would come spilling out in tears.

Once I started working with my therapist on

  • healthy ways of dealing with my anger and resentment

  • along with using nonviolent communication techniques(which means going to a deeper level and figuring out "the needs behind any reaction or emotion and responding empathically, so ideally all parties involved in any type of dispute may find peace.")Book here.

  • implementing positive self talk

  • becoming ok with myself crying and letting go of the shame I'd been made to feel up to that point in regards to crying

    I began to see a huuuge improvement in how often I cried. It wasn't an overnight thing. It took a dedicated effort on my part to do the above things. During that time I also began to go through various therapy routes, some of which are mentioned there.

    I remember one specific coping mechanism whenever I was furious was to either a)get a bat and go to town on a pillow b) do something physical like chop wood c) go out into the car with the windows up and scream.

    I hope this helps you in some way!
