A mum-of-two glassed a teacher from her child's school after a drunken row outside a pub.
Kelly Thomas, 38, was ordered to pay £600 compensation to the woman teacher after she "saw red" in a drunken argument outside a seafront pub in Porthcawl, South Wales.
Cardiff Crown Court heard how Kelly threw her drink at the secondary school teacher's face before pushing the glass itself in her face - which has left the victim scarred for life.
Prosecutor Jenny Yeo said the teacher was taken to hospital where she was treated for multiple superficial lacerations on her face.
The comprehensive school teacher said: "The incident really affected my every day life, I have a physical scar and the psychological damage is significant.
"I really struggled to come to terms with what happened and how it has left me feeling. I have flashbacks and can remember people saying 'Oh God look at her face'.
"My scar has changed how I view myself, I was a sociable person but now I have mental breakdowns before I go anywhere. I see it every time I look in the mirror and I have lost so much confidence.
"I am single and I fear being rejected because of the way I look or where it came from and the stigma attached.
"I check my locks in the house and struggle sleeping most nights thinking about what will be said and done next.
"I have never been nervous but now I feel nervous and scared when going out in Porthcawl.
"I'm confused why the incident happened and I struggle with my emotions."
Kelly admitted she was "horrified, remorseful and embarrassed" by her actions.
She admitted assault causing actual bodily harm at Cardiff Crown Court.
Ieuan Bennet, defending, said she was a mother of two children and was worried about them if she was imprisoned.
Sentencing, recorder Victoria Hillier said: "Your reaction was totally inappropriate and you are ashamed of yourself, you should be. On that date you lost control of your emotions."
Thomas was sentenced to eight months imprisonment suspended for 18 months.
Kelly was also ordered to carry out a 20-day rehabilitation activity requirement and to pay £600 in compensation.
She was made subject to a restraining order for five years.
