I'm really sorry Lilyth. Things like this take however long they take, and your grandparents seem desperate for you to 'get over it' yesterday. It may be a form of denial and minimization to protect themselves from feeling like they can't help you, but it's really not doing your needs any favours.
I second just getting up and walking away from triggers. Talking about trauma with loved ones can unfortunately be like talking to a brick wall but take any opportunity to avoid/minimise exposure and care for yourself. Desensitisation by graded exposure may *one day* be on the table but there are proper ways to do it - it can't be forced! Is there anybody else you can stay with for a bit to get a break?
