...and the secrecy?

I recently learned that someone I love very much was raped in high school. He was sodomized with a broom handle by boys he knew, but was too embarrassed to tell anyone. He didn't see a doctor for his physical injuries, and even tho he was seeing a therapist at the time for other emotional issues, he kept it secret. He just buried the trauma, and tried to endure on his own. For over ten years.

While I'm glad he finally felt safe enough to tell someone, and confide in me, I don't know what to do with it since he's my son.
