Woman shares how Straw movie triggered her

In her Facebook post, Lilian recounted a painful experience she had when she was pregnant.

The woman said:

“Been seeing a lot of posts about Tyler Perry Straw movie and when I watched it, to say it triggered me is an understatement! Here's a little snippet of true events. Some years ago I went into town to try and get some money for upkeep from the guy who had impregnated me. (Background to the story is I had been disowned for getting pregnant). Dude refused to give any money, even a dollar to go back home.

“But there I was, heavily pregnant, not even a cent on me. It got dark and I had no choice but to go ku the Police (PaCentral) and asked the Police for assistance. One police officer felt sorry for me and said it was late and its best I sleep at the station and they would contribute money in the morning for my fare.

“Yes , I slept there on a bench - the whole night and in the morning , bless those police officers gave me some money to go "home".

She added:

‘If I had to sit with Tyler Perry one day, I am sure he would actually make a good movie based on true life events about my life.”
