I can tell you the long story of how and why I was raped but all I can share with you is that rape happens, and we are and never should be ok with it. I am part of the few victims that cried to the police and doctors and in return was made to believe that I never was raped. I never did anything to deserve rape and physical assault. I prefer a life free from mental and physical torture. I prefer a life of freedom. However I am being abused and raped in my own home and the pain is never ending. I have physical symptoms of depression now. I struggle everyday to function. I struggle for various reasons and those reasons have prevented me from living a life of happiness. If only victims could be believed and heard, not bullied for speaking the truth and wanting peace for once.
