Thanks everyone for your advice/support. I spoke with him earlier about attending sex crime victims anonymous meetings. I used to be a sex crime counselor at my university so you'd think I'd be equipped to handle this. I suppose it's different when it's happening to you personally. He's a very proud person and (especially) being a very prestigious doctoral student (I'm not saying that to build him up, his program is extremely difficult to get into and he's been 1 out of 16 ppl in my state to receive national awards and honors) he's afraid he'll look weak and his peers and faculty won't take him as serious. I told him that's BS because no one is perfect. I think 90% of the world could use some counseling. He said he would consider going to a SVA meeting which is more than he has agreed to in the past. The problem with therapy is it costs so much $$$ and his insurance doesn't cover it. Being college students still, we're on a budget.
