^^^ No, she was batshit crazy. We were out back having a smoke on her back steps and she burst into tears and jumped into my arms for no apparent reason. After asking what's up, she claimed she was communicating with my dead brother who wanted me to acknowledge his presence and accept his apology for something. I told her I couldn't see him, so I would instead acknowledge the wild bush growing in her back yard and accept its apology. Then she clocked me.
As far as hitting her back, her two young kids were sleeping just inside. A few hours later, she drove them to school drunk while I was passed out on the couch. Every woman I meet is a fucking train wreck.
