how do I get over such a bad incident?

My next door neighbour who I was friends with for years got me drunk one night sexually assaulted me when i made it clear that I didnt want him near me and he tried to rape me. the police and social have done nothing only gave him a warning and now hes making smart comments when he walks pass me. I live right beside him and the anger I have for my neighbour words cant even describe. Every time I pass his house its a constant reminder of the night he abused me and I am seriously cracking up I feel like ive just got no closure and if he keeps passing rude comments towards me im afraid il just snap and hurt him really badly which i would not mind doing but then Im in trouble :/

First, take care of yourself, if you are angry about what happened, you probably need to get help or deal with it in some way or another. Journal, talk to someone, counselor, whatever works for you.

Second, if he keeps making remarks, when you see him coming, pull out your iPhone or recording device and video tape and record his words. Let him know you are recording him. If he is the more violent type, do it secretly, like an audio recording. Once you have enough, you can take that to the police and report the harassment.

Finally, don't show any emotion when he walks past you. Don't make eye contact. Don't get upset. Turn away and continue on with your business. He is probably enjoying how upset you get.

Sorry you have to go through this. What a horrible situation!

Hope this help you! Take care!

I think you need to go to the police and tell them this guy is harassing you. There's no reason for him to be walking past with his stupid remarks. Go to the police.
