Here it is short and sweet.
Brother-in-law tried to rape me 1 year ago. Got it reduced to attemepted breaking and entering (I still don't know how the heck THAT happend as we lived in the same house). BIL did his 30 hours of community service. Now family and friends are saying I need to get over it. They are pissed that I won't attend cookouts, trips to the beach, holiday meals if BIL is there. They say he did his time and it wasn't even THAT big of deal and I need to move on. Am I wrong here? The guy HURT me. The guy tried to tear MY CLOTHES OFF in the bathroom and all he got was a tap on the wrist. Seriously, am I overreacting? Am I being a drama queen here? It doesn't feel like I am.
