Last year due to an unidentified mental issue my husband did something very stupid that resulted in an unwanted sexual advance that left him feeling victimized. To make matters worse the person became a stalker and we had to involve the police to get rid of her. After this terrible event we realized that my husband was suffering from something terribly wrong mentally and have been seeking treatment ever since. Since we are can't afford to pay for psychiatric care on our own we have been on a waiting list to see one for many months. He had his first appointment a few days ago and the psychiatrist told him after reading only the intake nurses notes, that he was not a victim at all. That he had basically asked for it, and then proceeded to accuse him of "trolling for women" online. Which is quite untrue. I was not allowed to be in the room with him during this time and he felt judged and accused and made to feel dirty and at fault. He shut down emotionally about halfway through the session and has been a mess for the last two days since he saw the doctor. What do we do now? We had been waiting for months for what we thought was a life line and now this! Please give an idea of what to do next...this is all new and frightening.
