Redditors who had someone try to murder you, what happened?

1. My father was in the Navy in Vietnam when I was born. He decided he did not want a child after all and declined to provide support until his CO was notified and forced him to send money home. While he was home on leave he tried to suffocate me with a plastic bag, My grandfather confronted him with a .30-06 hunting rifle and backed him out of the house.

2. Someone cut me off in traffic ( im talking like my bumper scraped theirs as they forced their way in front of me ) so naturally i honked at them. And their perfectly sound and reasonable reaction was to shoot at my car through their back windshield multiple times before speeding off hitting 2 other cars in the process.

3. A woman stopped at an intersection waited until I started crossing, then turned right (no signal) and floored it, aiming at me. It had to run for it. Still have no idea why, I've always assumed she mistook me for someone else.

5. My ex was extremely violent and controlling. He was trying to make me pregnant so I would be dependent on him and never leave him. Basically, he found out I'd been taking birth control pills. He poured boiling water over me as I slept and stabbed me multiple times. Thankfully a neighbour heard my screams and called the police.

6. My mother was abusive, when she couldn't hit me anymore because of her arthritis she would encourage my younger autistic sister to hit me, usually while our mom watched. As I got older it escalated. There was this time in high school where I had decided to really fight back, I didn't care anymore about being punished for hitting back, but my sister was bigger than me so she kicked my ass. Then when she was done kicking me she got on top of me and started to choke me. I watched her squeeze her hamster to death a few years before so I thought she would kill me too, and she had already threatened it a bunch of times before. I woke up on the floor of the living room with my sister crying next to me. She told me she thought I was dead, and that she was sorry, she had never apologized to me before for anything, so I just kind of sat there confused for a minute. She couldn't stop sobbing, so I ended up comforting her and telling her that it was going to be ok.

7. Oh my god some of these are terrible and especially scary considering some were attacked randomly by strangers! and i'm so sorry to all those who experienced something like that. I was almost murdered by MOther in law. She's literally the devil. She thought I was I trying to keep "her baby" (no not her son, my husband. she was calling my oldest kid HER baby). She also thought i "trapped" by husband by getting pregnant (umm we were together for nearly 8 years at that time and married for 4 when i got pregnant...). Anyways, she tried to set me up. One day I walked into my home with my oldest son while i was pregnant . i quickly run into the bathroom to grab a towel or something. In there i found my MIL covered in her own blood holding a knife. She starts to yell (i'm in shock) and then attacks me. she keeps saying how dare i try to kill her and take her away from her baby and how i was trying ot deprive my son from her love. I was trying to protect myself and gtfo of the bathroom while trying to calm her down. At this point she stabs me in the chest when trying to stab my stomach. "You're a slut and a whore. My baby doesnt deserve you. how could he marry someone who tried to kill his mama" at this point i'm REALLY in shock and realize she was trying to make it look like i attacked her and she was defending herself. I manage to run out and i yell at my son to go to X's house (next door and a family freind) and get help which he does. I barricade myself in our office room (it had these heavy oak doors) and try to control my bleeding, Mil is outside banging on the door complaining how i'm jealous of her and the love and relationship she shares with her son and my son and how i'm trying to isolate them from her. Anyways, cops came, she was arrested and i ended up in the hospital and lost the baby.

8. English is not my first language so I'm sorry for any errors. Anyway, the story is about my father who really liked to drink 24/7. He would often get angry and throw stuff around or threaten complete strangers but he never harmed me or my brother, so we got used to it and just ignored it most of the time. But one day he got into a fistfight with some random guy at the gas station (where he liked to drink for 20 hours straight) and when he got home he was in a really bad mood. I took my brother and we left the apartment to go play football with the other kids in the park. At some point while we were playing I lost the key to the basement that I had with me because our ball was locked in there, and when we got back home I told my father that I lost the key. He got so angry you wouldn't believe it, he started screaming and threw bottles and other stuff at us. He grabbed my brother (who was six years old) and punched him as hard as he could, and while I dragged him to the bed so he could lie down my father called my mother and told her that he's going to end it and she can come pick up the corpses in an hour. I heard this and locked the door to our room, which made him even angrier. He was trying to break down the door with his bare hands, that didn't work so he tried breaking the lock with a knife. Suddenly I hear some really loud noises followed by a bunch of voices yelling, the police broke the door to the apartment and stormed in. Father got arrested, my mother was so scared she looked like she was about to die and I had to talk to a police officer for an hour about what happened. My father was not allowed to contact us again after this but sometimes he would hang out in the street where our new apartment was or he would come to our school and pretend that he was there to pick us up. He died two years later when he started a fight with some homeless guys and they beat him up and threw him down some stairs, broke his skull and he died on the way to the hospital. I have never ever shed a single tear for that asshole

9. I was drunk (like really really drunk) and fell on someone's beautiful car. I broke his side mirror. He saw me, took a knife of his jacket, he was really mad and tried to stab me. A friend saved me by pulling me away so the guy hit the wind and my friend told the guy that I'll pay for the mirror. I paid and I'm still alive

10. This pales in comparison to some of the horror that these others folks have posted but here goes. I had been dating a woman for about a year and we thought we would try living together. She started having dreams of me talking to other women. I laughed and thought she was just having some crazy dreams. One night a few weeks later I wake up to what I recognize as thin aluminum falling onto wood and then the tile floor but I ignore it, just the cat. The next day my brother tells me that my girlfriend confessed to him that she had almost beat my brains in with a baseball bat that night, a thin aluminum baseball bat. Later I talked about splitting up and she would get suicidal. After a year of this constant fear and physical as well as mental abuse I managed to convince her to leave me (it was ok since it was her idea). It wasn't simple, she married a few months later and came by to introduce him to MY family (He realized how weird it was). About 4 years later and I haven't heard from her in over a year. Stay safe folks!
