Question: I was at function with soon to be ex daughter in law. It has been a nasty divorce and a lot of tension between us tonight I was sitting behind her and said to her I couldn't believe she came to night. She quickly turned in her seat and shoved her phone in my face to record. I reached to take the phone from her and she scratched my hand. She said she was calling the police I said fine and left the room to sit outside until my son and children came out from function. The police showed up took our statements and said either we both go to jail or agree to stay away. We agreed to stay away. He also said that we could file charges against each other. My question is was this self defense on my part. And I believe since she is so evil that she will file charges against me should I file charges against her
