Hey there, Kara is right. Rape is not something you can just forget and move on from, and honestly I agree that rape and abuse victims can never fully "heal", they will always know what happened to them, and it may get to be too much on some days even if it usually doesn't affect them. You need to suggest to him possibly talking to a professional like a therapist or counselor. They are trained professionals on how to help people through these things and to learn to cope with what happened. He needs to talk about it to someone, and as I said, it'd be best if they were a professional, but even just a friend to listen can make a difference.
