My step mother wanted to press charges against me after I threatened her but I wasn’t in my right mind was she right to do so?

I wasn’t okay and before you judge I was not in my okay mind.. I had been going down a slippery hill mentally at 23… I recently found out I had bipolar but I was going through a lot 2020. I never gave my step mother problems I was never an “evil stepdaughter “ I’ve known her since I was 6.

There was a family situation that left me wondering if I even mattered lowkey and I started to spazz out a bit later..

I threatened to …. Her throat… I take accountability and I was wrong and I understand her concern even though I was far in a totally different state 24 hours away

I don’t know I just feel a bit hurt but I understand

Yes she was right to do so unfortunately , because no one in their right state of mind is just going to brush those words off like it was nothing. When you threaten to physically harm someone or anyone , are they supposed to just brush it off? I use to be in a relationship with a mentally ill girl that had a break down one night and told me she was going to kill me in my sleep. I looked at her like she was this complete wack job so I immediately had her 302’ed and put into a mental ward. Threatening words are taken serious these days because of all
The crazy shit that we hear about on the news. Why people can be arrested for saying the word Bomb when they are on a plane. Unfortunately threatening words are taken very serious these days. Picture walking down the street in public and some random stranger walks by you and Says I’m going to strangle you tonight when you are asleep, Are you going to just brush that off or are you going to call the cops?
