In the final episode of Twice Displaced, I take you through what happened after I got my permanent residency in Australia: I moved in with my girlfriend… and her two kids. Classic lesbian behaviour, I know. But this episode is about more than U-Hauling — it’s about what family really means when you’re queer, displaced, and carrying generational trauma.

You’ll hear from my partner, her kids (yes, they insisted on being recorded), and my mum opening up -for the very first time - about her experience living with schizoaffective disorder.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build a home when home has never really existed, this one’s for you.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to mental illness, homophobia, and family conflict.

Huge thanks to: Kristina, Rose, Edward, mum, Zeid, Meemo, Lara, Hana, Lina, Ramz, Elleanor Leabeater, Martin Peralta, and my incredible wife and co-producer Kristina.
