I can think of one problem though. Suppose that person had a gun, and came back and shot you. Where would you be then? I don't have all the answers either, but there is arather thin line between knowing when to use self defense, and when to not. Glad it worked out for you, and had I been in your situation, I probably would have done the same thing. Only difference is that I wouldn't have thrown up when I got home because in those situations, I get rather agressive and take some terrible chances. Could tell some rather grusome stories, but won't bother. Good luck and hang in there.
