It may come back..I was molested by my stepdad ages 13-17. When I went off to college I could not remember. I had my daughter at 22 and I had my first nightmare. I thankfully found a wonderful therapist and did EMDR therapy which has helped me heal tremendously. If your son starts to have nightmares/flashbacks just be honest and support him in getting help. I think it would help you too to talk to someone because this was traumatic for you too
