tl;dr: I pushed my dad’s girlfriend whenever she tried to take something from me, but accidentally pushed too hard and she hit a wall.
Last winter, I (13m) had a small growth spurt and outgrew the long sleeve shirts I used for pijamas when it’s cold. My dad let me borrow one of his sweaters since it was too late to run to the store and get one. Since it was pretty oversized, I found it very comfy and just asked if I could borrow his. He told me yes and to just go in his room and grab them whenever I wanted.
Skip to this year, my dad was at a thanksgiving thing for work. His girlfriend recently moved in, so she was at the house with me. Before I took a shower, I went in his room to grab the sweater I use the most, and as I was leaving the room she walked in. She told me to put it back and that I was basically stealing. When I tried to tell her, she just said “bullshit” and tried to take it from me. I tried to pull away but she grabbed me, so I pushed her off of me. She slammed into the wall and started sobbing. When i tried to apologize, she screamed at me to get away from her, I left the sweater and went to my room.
She hasn’t mentioned anything to my dad yet, but I’m scared she will. I’m scared that he’ll hate me. I bad because I didn’t mean to hurt her, I just didn’t like that she grabbed me.
