But one family Sunday, I got up the courage to ask my mum how old was I when she and my dad left us behind. She said I was two-and-half years old. I also uncovered memories from when I was about six. We had a young man come and stay with us at the theological college and he and I slept in the room downstairs while my parents and my sister slept upstairs.

There were disparate memories from that time. One of them was me in bed being smothered. Another was of me running upstairs and then down the halls crying to my parents that something horrible had happened to me downstairs. And another memory was of me having to sleep with my sisters upstairs. He just sort of disappeared.
