I Was Attacked at Game Night

What I can?t get over is the utter lack of concern shown for me by the other members of the group, three of whom I was friends with before Theresa and Ken ever entered our circle. No one came outside when I screamed for help, or called me later that night to see if I made it home safely. One of my old friends, ?Cathy,? did call the following day. But when I asked her why no one responded to my screams, she said they didn?t want to get involved in case they made things worse. She also seemed oddly lacking in any sense of outrage toward Ken. Three days later, another member contacted me through Gchat to see how I was doing since I?d ?seemed pretty upset on Friday.? At that point I was still discussing the attack with the prosecutor's office, so I told her that the bureaucratic wheels of the case were turning. There was a long pause. Then she typed, ?I don't understand. What case? We thought that since no one was hurt and no one was arrested that it was no big deal.? After I explained otherwise, she started discussing how much she hated lima beans.

That was the last I heard from any of them. I assume the Friday sessions have been continuing without me. I have no desire to return to my attacker?s home. But none of the members of the group have invited me to any social outings, either. I made tentative inquiries at one point to see if Cathy and her husband would like to come to my place, but they replied that they were too busy with school and work and it was too far. Do I write off these people as bad friends? Do I assume they never really liked me and are glad to see the back of me now? Maybe it was unrealistic of me to have expected that they?d ostracize Ken, but I would have liked to hear someone say, ?We think Ken's a total bastard for doing that to you,? or, ?We understand why you aren't coming to Friday nights anymore, but we're sorry about what happened and we miss you.? Instead, the message I've gotten is, ?Ken clearly lost his mind that night and we don't know why, but let's all just try to put this unpleasantness behind us?it just wasn't that big a deal." But it was to me! Even so, I could possibly?possibly?even accept an apology from Ken if it was offered. But nothing of that sort has happened, either.
