I have been attacked twice in my life once when I was 16 in Liverpool and once when I was married living in Nienburg Germany. Both times I fought off the attacker or in the second case attackers. Of the two the second one was the more frightening. The first one I kicked I punched I head butted (he was trying to kisss me at the time Yuk)and scratched the only thing I couldn't do was scream (and for anyone who knows me and knows how loud I am that will be a surprise) I opened my mouth my brain was saying scream but nothing came out. All I knew is that I couldn't let this guy get me down on the floor. I got away and ran to a house and bless them the people their took me home to my dad.Now his reaction to this is a whole other story!!!!

The second one although physically I wasn't hurt it actually frightened the hell out of me.

I was walking to the barracks to pick up our mail when a car pulled along side of me now I have to say I didn't see the plates but it was exactly the same car as my neighbour drove and I thought it was her. I bent down to talk to her and then realised it was two guys before I could straighten up one of the guys tried to pull me into the car through the window when he didn't succeed the driver reached across and tried to help him. I'm thinking oh my God do I have victim tattooed on my head or what?? Well the one thing I knew was I could not let my feet leave the ground othewise they would drive off and that would be that. I was screaming (see I had learn't something) and I ended up sitting on the pavement with in my bra showing as my top was up around my neck I had managed to get free they drove off and a very nice German lady came to my aid and took me to the barracks.What was really scary for me was that after a miscarraige I had just found out I was pregnant with my eldest son and the only thing I was worried about was that nothing was going to harm my baby I think that gave me more strength than anything nothing but nothing was going to harm my baby not this time.

What I found frightening was that the two guys who tried to grab me were German and at that time I spoke very little German that was a situation I remedied very quickly after that!!!
