Vanessa Gray Survivor Sister Story

 

My first boyfriend in high school experience at fourteen years old, was an abusive one. He abused me for two and a half years; emotionally, physically, psychologically, and financially. I ended the relationship when I was sixteen years old, after he raped me. I was stalked by him months after the break-up. The school and police department were not help to me at all. I am a survivor because of my family. My brother protected me at school and mom pulled me out of school to save my life. I would have died by the hands of my abuser, if I didn’t have the protection of my family.
