Hitting back might land you in jail, if male.
Far better to land in court with a lawsuit against her with possibility of a massive payout.
If she’s the only one doing the hitting, she’s definitely the one doing the paying. And I’m assuming she’s got deep pockets.
If you resist the urge to retaliate physically, you won’t have any trouble finding a lawyer willing to take the case on a contingency basis. Lawyers love suing those with deep pockets.
I’d much prefer going to the bank with a big fat check rather than risking jail for the measly pleasure of retalliation.
SHOW ME THE MONEY, BABY. SHOW ME THE MONEY ! !
