From birth, I was thrown into the deep end of life with no swimming instructions! Having survived, I felt compelled to pass on how, to other people. However, I am not a machine! Telling my story has been very painful as well as healing. I have deliberately written it in the style of narrator rather than in the first person because I found referring to myself as ‘Chinyere' (which happens to also be one of my other forenames) a bit less emotionally painful to write about. The flashbacks became less raw, resulting in less tears for me to blink away as I typed. All other names have been changed for privacy purposes.
