Ouch.... again I think that this is a good opportunity to heal this wound so that you are not vulnerable to it in the future.
I always thought that one of the group's purposes was to get these types of things out in the open (replaying our family dysfunctions) so that they can be dealt with for everyone's benefit. This was the problem I guess. It wasn't dealt with immediately and out in the open. If it would have been dealt with immediately everyone could have learned from it.
Sorry that you had to suffer all week about this Internettie. You did do good work, however, in sending out that email (recognizing your needs and speaking out about them!), and by reaching out for support here.
