Am I the jerk for nearly killing someone after they found out I killed their parents?

I (99m) and my friend (98m) recently got into an altercation with my friend’s coworker (46m). When I was younger, I had a very unfortunate train accident which led to my getting rescued from a snowstorm against my will. I had a very unpleasant couple of decades involving chronic memory issues, torture, both psychological and physical and was coerced into committing several crimes, which I later pled insanity to.

Fast forward many years, I am a changed man now. I don't kill people (Unless they deserve it). But I still run into trouble with the law for crimes I committed. My friend was helping me out of one of those patches of trouble with the law, despite a lot of personal flak from his job. It was really solid of him, especially since he went out of the way to help.

Anyway, we ran into his co-worker while trying to figure something out. We were trying to talk him down and he seemed calm at first. However, he accidentally saw a video he really wasn’t supposed to see. This video was me killing both of his parents. It happened a while ago, and as mentioned above, I did not have a choice in doing this.

He was understandably upset about this (especially because my friend knew about this and never told him) and started attacking me. I didn't want to fight but this man was literally firing lasers at me. So I fought back and my friend, coming to my defence, and I nearly killed him. Some very nasty things were said and my friend ended up having to give up one of his war mementos to appease the conversation, before fleeing. We had to leave him in this cold, abandoned bunker in the middle of nowhere, but I’m pretty sure he got help at some point.

My therapist has said recently that being more reflective and reconciliatory towards my past actions may help resolve some personal issues. So, in the name of betterment?

Am I The Jerk?

On standard continents with 18 city states. This start has a volcano with massive food yields, like 7-9 food since it has always erupted 3 times in the ancient era for me. You start on tundra, near a river. One turn cross the river to settle 2 tiles away from a 2 tile volcano. There’s Bandar Brunei due east as the nearest city state. And the spanish guy is lurking somewhere further north east beyond that near about 2 other natural wonders. Patcucutti (it’s like 11 I’m going to bed after this leave me alone) south of Bandar, with another city state by 3 mountains.
