Acclaimed actress Eucharia Anunobi has shared poignant insights regarding the necessity for individuals to understand their genotype prior to entering romantic relationships.

Her perspective is informed by her own experiences, particularly the significant difficulties she encountered while raising her son, who was diagnosed with sickle cell disease.

Eucharia revealed that the challenges linked to her son's health had a profound impact on her life, disrupting her marriage, career, and mental health.

She noted that the daily demands of managing her son's condition led to considerable stress, which ultimately played a role in the breakdown of her marriage.

In 2006, her husband made the decision to leave, forcing her to face the complexities of single parenthood while caring for a child with a chronic illness.

Reflecting on her experiences, Anunobi emphasized the critical nature of compatibility in both love and health.

“I got married in 2000 and had a son, Raymond. From the moment I had him, my marriage began to hit the rocks. It was one hospital visit after another, one medical expense after another. The experience halted our lives and put a strain on our love.

“My husband blamed me for our situation, and I blamed him too. I watched my son suffer. I watched my husband and I go from spouses, to friends, to people who just fought and fought about medical bills and taking care of our son.

“Finally, in 2006, our marriage ended, and I was left alone with our son. I cried a lot. It was so overwhelming that I couldn’t even pursue my acting passion any longer. Sadly, I lost my son at the age of 17,” she said.
