But the pain was still there.

And so I lived with my auntie.

Long story short, I lived with my auntie for two years.

And that wasn't always easy as well.

Very difficult.

I know my auntie might be watching this one day, so I want to protect her because we've come a long way.

But it was very, very difficult for a while for me.

What was going on?

She would...

she would punish me quite severely for not doing my schoolwork like it was quite a regime.

So I kind of went from one to another thing.

I went over and saw my mother in England two years in and then I eventually came back to New Zealand because I couldn't go and live in England as much as my mum wanted me to.

It's too far away.

So I came back to Aotearoa.

Needless to say,

Already the seeds were there, trauma, displacement, I think, looking back now.

And I'd always been a strange introverted.

I know how to be extroverted, but I'm sort of a bit of both.

And so I developed beautiful relationships with people over in Australia.

I have some wonderful friends, some beautiful friends, some great relationships.
