When does it stop?

Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing okay, I've been doing better in recent times but had a set back today.
I moved out of the home where my sibling (the offending person) lives so i've been feeling better since then but today my flatmate (who knows the situation and is a very close friend) made an off hand comment on a phone call about my parent having a "p-word van" when asked to describe what kind of van they have. The use of the that word associated with somebody i love dearly and want none of this horrible situation or it's consequences associated with just sent me into a full panic attack. She apologised and said she should've chosen her words better so i'm not angry at her as it wasn't malicious but the fact it sent me into such a large panic was so upsetting.
I'm trying really hard to move on and accept the situation with my sibling as it is but having these kind of set backs just makes me feel like i'm going to be stuck with the consequences of his actions forever. I just feel so low today because of this and i'd be feeling okay for the last few weeks.
Sorry about the rant, it's just nice having this forum where people can better understand my feelings. I'm thinking of calling the phone line during the week just for a chat. Sending love to you all x
