    Relationship My older sister is terrified of me nowadays, because of the way I reacted to her rape.

    You don't get her back. You give her agency to choose what SHE wants. And clothes are not "provocative." I can understand why she is upset. Do what is best for her and let her choose what she wants. Sit with your feelings, as uncomfortable as they are. I'm not blaming the victim, but ...

    Sigh... got into argument/ fight cos I accidentally said my thoughts out loud to someone I dislike
