I just feel so guilty right now. I went out of town to go to a wedding reception and well I'm not going. I can't because one of my perpetraters will be there. My therapist doesn't think I should be around him and if I am then for a small amount of time and that I needed to be prepared to do so. I just feel so guilty for not going, all of my family members will be there.

Which this person is a family member. My family knows about what happened, so it's not unknown. Should I feel so guilty?

I know if I go I will be triggered and possibly dissociate and I don't want that to happen, not there. What should I do?
