I grabbed my 8 month old baby, got in the car and went to my boyfriend's house in the middle of the night, woke him up, and told him what had happened. He got me calmed down, came back home with me and stayed at my house for the next couple of days.
When my ex-husband the rapist showed back up, my 6'2" biker boyfriend stepped outside with him and they had a little talk. I don't know what was said. I don't know if anything happened later. I do know my ex packed up later that week and left the state in a big hurry. I never heard from him again.
We never discussed it after that, and that was the only person who knew. Even my roommate never knew. I didn't bother filing charges. Dealt with the effects on my own; I tend to internalize things and don't like discussing them until I have them straight in my own mind, by which time counseling is pretty much pointless.
I'm glad for your sake that someone had your back through it all.
