@hawkeye10,
Why is it so hard to separate out bringing charges and feeling upset by the event?
How about this... there is a car accident. Nobody died and there were no serious injuries but it was a serious accident. Both drivers were a little at fault -- someone went late through a yellow-turning-red light, say, while someone else took off early from a red light before it had turned green. Whatever the particulars -- it was not clear-cut that one person was at fault.
One of the people involved in the accident comes away from the whole thing thinking both that she won't sue the other driver, and that the whole experience was upsetting. She's nervous about driving for a while. She's shaken up by the whole thing.
In that case, I don't think the ONLY response is "Yeah well it was your fault too! Stop thinking about it! Don't blame the other guy! Move on!"
I think it can be BOTH "I see why you won't be suing the other guy" and "but I see why it was such an upsetting experience. Sorry that happened."
