Just Life

When Ik Wist Het was 16, he was at work. His friend, Alex, says, "When I got Forced to have sex, no one cared. All they did was laugh & call me a wimp."

👨‍🏭

Ik Wist Het says, "When I got Forced to have sex, it was like losing my life. I just wanted to die. It was hard. Now, it feels like it's a part of life."

🗣️

Alex: "I'm gonna tell the police."

🚓

Ik Wist Het: "I guess."

😓

Ik Wist Het walks off; Alex, a 17-year-old, goes through with it and gets his 23-year-old wife arrested.

🗣️

You should speak out when you go through sexual assault as a man because there's nothing wrong with getting help, no matter your gender of you or your rapist.

🆘

If you get raped, call 911 because they will take you seriously.

🆘

Always remember to not take drinks from strangers; men seem to commonly get sexually assaulted by women through the date rape drug.

😓

Alex met Ik Wist Het the next day, saying, "The police officer said I was raped." Ik Wist Het was shocked; the community was biased and sexist toward males.

🆘

No one has the right to tell you to enjoy your rape. That's what some people try to tell male rape victims of female rapists.

🆘

No need to torture victims when they're already tortured enough.

🆘

Ik Wist Het thought about his situation and wondered if he was raped, having difficulty figuring it out, even though he was raped.

👨‍🏭

Present day, when he was an adult.

👨‍🏭

Ik Wist Het was with his son, and his divorce is finalizing. Ik Wist Het is not sad but happy to be free of his rapist wife, whom he's hated for all of his marriage.

💕

Today is his free day! Ik Wist Het took his son and brought him to a school house, saying, "I'll move out of the community & get a house, a car, I'll adjust to that outsider life."

😨

Thomas was moving, too! Behoeden was finally gonna be able to Get out of there! Behoeden just gave a big smile. 😁

😁

Behoeden was walking home to see 🅰️ boy, Quince, on the streets panhandling, so Behoeden gave him food.

❤️

Quince took the cash, saying, "Thanks." With this gesture 🙏🏼 and went on his way.

❤️

Behoeden went to tell Thomas the news, making him ecstatic. The plans for what they'd do outside the community once they escaped.

❤️

Behoeden went to see Quince, who was eating food from 🅰️ garden he was raiding and ran 🅰️way with 🍉🍋🍠🧅🥝🥑🍆 for food.

🍽️

Behoeden followed him & saw the 15-year-old Quince running into 🅰️ cave. Behoeden went into the cave and saw... "Woah." 🅰️ bunch of teenage boys, babies & little children hiding out in this cave in the ground.

🍽️

Quince brought his food, shared it with the group of 123 people, and ate his portion.

🙏🏼

Behoeden beheld the sight when a teenage boy named Cartle asked, "Is this your stop, bud?" Behoeden says, "I just showed up because I saw this homeless kid heading somewhere and wanted to help."

🙏🏼

Cartle says, confused, "You got a wife?"

Behoeden says "No, I am not married."

This confused Cartle, this community didn't have a safe haven for abused men, so if something happened, there was no other place than this cave.

🙏🏼

These men were denied because of their gender, no one cared about them.

🙏🏼

Cartle asks, "Are you gonna try to help us?" In worry for his group, Behoeden says, "Yeah, of course, you guys are homeless; you live in caves!"

🥝

Cartle smiles and offers him a Kiwi 🥝 saying, "Kiwis are free!" Behoeden pushes it back to him, saying, "You eat it. I'm gonna head home."

❣️

Cartle lets him go home & says, "Bye, love ya!" Behoeden waves back at Cartle.

📚

At home, Behoeden sees his dad packing up his stuff, and his dad kisses Behoeden & takes him to his new home; and Behoeden is very happy to see his new house.

🗣️

Ik Wist Het was happy to be free of his abusive wife, and Ik Wist Het found it absolutely amazing, and Ik Wist Het chose to be single forever.

🙏🏼

Ik Wist Het smiled 😁 as he hugged his son and taught him how to knit. 🧶
