The sexual assault happened around seven months ago. He tried to kiss me on the lips and said inappropriate things to me regarding my body such as that I am curvy and sexy. This event gave me PTSD and I have been trying to work on myself since then. I am not married yet and have to see him everyday since we live in the same house. I have learned to control my emotions when he is around. In the earlier days, his presence used to cripple me but now I can put on an apathetic face. However there are days when I absolutely cannot stand his involvement in my matters. Yesterday was one of my first outbursts after the incident where I yelled at him at the top of my lungs, cussed at him and acted in such a way that I did not recognize myself. The matter was about my marriage and we had a difference of opinion.
He has never accepted responsibility for what he did to me and always made it out to be a misunderstanding to my family members and my family has taken his side and have failed to believe me. I do not think I can be respectful to him anymore or give him any rights that Islam has enjoined upon me. I am a mess and my mental health is deteriorating by the day.
I need your guidance as to how the tackle the situation. Therapy isn't helping and I cannot help feel that may be yes it is all a misunderstanding and I am a bad daughter for disrespecting him according to islam.
