Husband childhood rape
My husband opened up to me recently and told me he was raped by two older boys when he was around 7 years old. It was completely horrific to hear and I haven't been able to process it. I'm not mad at my husband for not telling me, not do I see him any different. I just feel so angry that this happened and that no one protected him and there are people who could abuse someone in this way. This happens more than 25 years ago, but for me, it just happened because I just found out. Is there anyone else who went through something similar ot whose spouse did? How did you react? If you went through this and told your spouse, how did you want them to react? I wish I knew what to do. I also don't know how to process it. I just can't think about it. We have an almost 3 year old. I worry about him and I wonder if my husband is even more afraid for him. It's affected him very bad his whole life. I knew he was depressed and not okay but I never knew why. He thinks about it basically daily and even became suicidal within the past year. It's helped him to speak about it but I don't know what more I should do if anything.
