I think it sounds as if he is not feeling much of anything related to the assault. Fear and pain and shame can cause the victim to block out memory of the assault, or memory of how it felt or how they felt. Telling the story is the first step. I am glad for yall that he felt safe enough to tell you. I guess the best thing is to give it time and see what comes next.
