With my twin sister and I having been rejected at birth, followed by years of mental and emotional neglect, with no scope for expression of the pain, I was left with this deep need to express my innermost thoughts and feelings. Which I surmise is what has led to the creation of this book. Starting from day one in 1942, through to 2023, I invite you to accompany me on my life's journey as I describe in great detail all the traumas, pivotal moments, and milestones encountered along the way. My aspiration is that after reading this book, you will have gained enough insight, to understand that mental illnesses are in fact brain disorders, and that the time has come for us to shed some light on this very important subject.
