Belial, it sounds like people are trying to make you feel guilty. Which they shouldn't. You certainly seem to have some valid reasons not to go, but it sounds like your family is trying to write them off as lame excuses, which they aren't. Fears, even if they seem silly, are real and shouldn't be taken lightly.

It is hard to understand the situation without seeing it first hand, plus no one is going to fully understand your fears except yourself. I don't really have any good advice for you though... :/
