I-IMO, you handled your S well. I am sure this will not be the last talk you have with him. Just remember to listen and be the rock for him. He,you all, will be ok.

This is actually a good thing, the crying. Don't be surprised if it is followed with anger and more crying. We have to feel our feelings in order to process them.

Listen, people will sometimes give you their opinions, but you know what those are really worth. Although this may be your IC's experience, please don't let it get in your head and make you crazy. It is simply an opinion.
Have you read "The Secret" or the "Law of Attraction", they are good books that expound on the idea that thoughts become things. So if we project negativity, we attract negative things towards us, and if we project positive things, we attract positive things toward us.
I am sorry that this happened, however I am glad that you stuck to your boundary, that is really important.
Right now, I see this as a time for you both to feel what you need to feel and maybe honestly begin the healing process.
Where that process takes you, has not been determined yet.
