This sentence may need a correction or two.
As someone who is learning english as a second language, writing even a simple english sentence is a huge challenge.
So you can imagine how tough it must have been for me to come up with the sentence below.
I would appreciate any expert opinions on any grammatical fallacies.
More precisely, I want to know, from a structural point of view, whether starting the sentence with "Rather" and having two gerunds "living" and "having" as the subjects of the sentence were valid and grammatical.
"Rather than living a life with one’s human dignity protected, living in and out of a psychiatric facility for one’s entire life and having to put up with all sorts of inhumane coercion of medical staff are the reality of living within the walls of the closed ward."
Many Thanks
