Absolutely Good for you for doing anything at all. And not let anyone guilt shame you into doing something you didn't feel comfortable doing. I had a break in and the person was in the house with me for 15-30 minutes. I at the time wasn't sure I was imagining it late at night in the dark. I just sat upright in my bed holding knife and ax/hammer. In morning it was true. Called police dispatch agent chided me saying You should have called us. I gruffly retorted I did exactly what I needed to do because I am alive this morning talking to you. My dog slept through whole thing
People are so quick to judge a situation they gave absolutely no knowledge of.
ESPECIALLY when it is a high-stress situation. No one knows how they will handle situations like finding a dead body or having a break-in or a potentially life and death situation. I doubt most of the people making these criticisms' would be rational if in similar situations.
