“Surviving a Harrowing Night: My Story of Resilience and Finding Strength” by Princy P

Door unlocked and kept my dog near the door and went to get water from the kitchen… But he came in and hit my dog and i froze… They were fighting so i ran and i locked myself inside the room.

But i heard my dog bark a lot and i know she was in pain so i came out put her in the room locked it and i was in front of him. I slapped him. I asked him to get out. But he refused. He went to the kitchen drank water which i kept in the cup and i ran to my sis room.
I tried locked the door but the key fell
He came in pulled my hair and took me into the room… He raped me…

And this time i cried but,
I did not tell anyone anything…. But my two friends…

I tried my best to be strong in front of others with a big smile but trust me i only know the pain inside… One of my friend said “you are brave and you come this far and you are still standing on your feet”

So this is my story….
