Is this sentence correct?

I can't let you go there after all that has happened?


I'm confused because after all ,as a word phrase, means despite earlier problems

after all is not used as a fixed expression (word phrase) in this sentence. after and all do not group together. The grouping is like this: I can't let you go there [ after [all that has happened] ].
