My husband refuses to see my family because they did not support us after a very unpleasant s*xual assault from my cousin. In fact, they continue contact with the perpetrator's family & have just swept the whole incident under the carpet. They cannot understand why we are hurt by this. I find it very upsetting to see them, knowing all this but if I don't see them I miss them, so feel I would be cutting of my nose to spite my face as they say...I've tried explaining to them how I/we feel but they just say because we don't have contact with the perpetrator & his family does not mean to say they don't have to...Am I better off forgetting my family...all they do is upset me when I spend time with them...or will I regret it later? Plus my nieces & nephews are innocent parties in all this...please help!
