[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your son might be a sexual assault survivor.[/quote]

I'm guessing OP is the survivor. [/quote]

True. And it was in family and even my DH doesn’t know.

Ok. Wow. Haven’t thought about that in years. [/quote]

OP, I’m sorry for what you went through - and for what you are going through now. I’m also imagining a healthy resolution of this for your son. 
Maybe a simple start to this could be for you to apologize to your son - and acknowledge that as parents we get used to touching our kids, and as adults, we may need to consciously learn to practice boundaries and asking permission as our kids grow up.  That’s true, and may help normalize this as a developmental issue for both of you.

I hope someone other than you does the “nuance” talk.

I hope you can seek therapy and other kinds of support as you deal with your own history- and how it may impact your current relationships, actions, and feelings.   I’m wishing you all the best as you deal with some difficult issues. [/quote]
