I tried to commit suicide many times but failed

Ms. Da Thao Phuong’s older sister (real name Thanh Thuy) informed that the dark 2000s will never be forgotten when she followed her parents to take her sister to the Saint Paul hospital to wash her intestines.

Da Thao Phuong’s sister wrote: “Time and time again. I was too ashamed, too scared and too painful to put into words all the horrors I had to endure.

Until I could scream, that scream could only make people around me unable to fully understand the meaning and horror of what I went through.

And, the story was easily steered in another direction, extinguished by the villain’s sophisticated tricks that made many people think that it was just a contradiction in the normal male-female relationship! I was unable to speak clearly, wisely. I was oppressed, raped, tortured, humiliated, but turned into an avenger for love.”

According to Da Thao Phuong’s sister, the poetess has sought death many times. “The repeated unsuccessful suicides, her insane mood and her disfigured personality caused my family to fall into years of grief, a deadlock with no way out,” the older sister said. .

We can’t be silent

Meanwhile, journalist Truong Anh Ngoc, who knew Da Thao Phuong from more than 20 years ago, also said that she had heard about her story somewhere but then everything calmed down.

Before the recent denunciation of Ms. Da Thao Phuong, journalist Truong Anh Ngoc commented: “I read some comments at home, many people voiced their support for Phuong, and I saw a friend saying how can we claim justice. okay, after all these years. Another person asked why it took so long to speak up.

And there are also insensitive and abominable comments in the direction of blaming the victim. Reading Phuong’s life story, I feel sorry for her. Reading comments many people also feel pity and anger at them when they lack a heart, an empathy. Do they understand that, because there are people like them, with such a mindset, many victims do not dare to speak out and denounce the perpetrators?”.

According to this male journalist, more than 20 years of living with a great pain in life is never simple. It is a terrible thing that Phuong and those who have been raped like her have been and are facing. Because it torments and torments them. It made it difficult for them to live in the real world, haunting them for the rest of their lives. At least in the end Phuong was brave enough to speak out, to show the face of the person who ruined her life. Perhaps there are many other victims of sexual abuse, because of shame, fear of being judged, stoned, judged and blamed, who still choose to remain silent about the wounds that have not been healed.

It is not only the violence of those who have harmed them, but also the violence from the mouth of the world, those who harm them again, push them into despair and prevent them from stepping into the light, living their lives. a normal life”, journalist Anh Ngoc wrote.

According to journalist Anh Ngoc, Da Thao Phuong of 20 years old was not strong enough to protect herself, but Phuong of twenty years later spoke out to tell the truth about what happened to Phuong that day and needed the public to speak up.
