Meet my oldest son, Tisyn...
Tisyn's story has a deep dark winding path, but he is the light of my world and the protector of our family. He was a beautiful, peaceful easy baby. Absolute angel of a child and a fierce protector as a teenager and adult. His story is his to tell and I want it to be in his own words and from his perspectives. I will however highlight some of my own challenges to give a glimpse of his world growing up.
Tisyn's father was violent and abusive to me throughout our whole relationship together (11 years). I had Tisyn when I was 15 years old, so i was a baby having a baby. I adored being pregnant, unfortunately i was still being abused; it never stopped really. So Tisyn's hardship started before he was born, downloading my fear and sadness during his foetal development. I used to tape one headphone to my belly and put the other one in my ear so we could listen to music together whenever I was alone.
As a teenager Tisyn was co-parenting his younger siblings and keeping us together. I had gone through another messy relationship by then and had started using drugs and alcohol to numb it all. Id stay at work late and go out with friends till early hours of the morning. He held it all down at home and managed his education. Joined a band and dove into his music which he has a natural gift for.
Fast forward to young adulthood and he was to say the least...a mess. He did not want to be alive but was tethered to this world by his baby brother, Keidis.
Tisyn has never used drugs or alcohol and is now an advocate for intense shadow work. He is doing his counseling degree and has created a healing model under his foundation, Aiā Healing which he is the founder of. He currently works for our Hapu and Iwi as a Whānau Ora Kaiārahi (ground force family health counselor).
Hes written produced and created an album about his journey, below is one of the songs on the album.
Tisyn and I are working together to build Aiā Healing and he will very soon be a beautiful powerful presence here in our community.
