A guy from California claims to be “ecstatic” over receiving full custody of his son Sawyer, whose mom has made an effort to raise him in a “non-binary” manner. The proud father speaks with BlazeTV anchor Allie Beth Stuckey in his first interview after receiving full custody. He shares the specifics of his difficult path and offers advice to others who may be facing similar challenges.
Harrison Tinsley briefly dated a woman in the Bay Area a number of years ago. Sawyer is the son they fathered together shortly after their first meeting. But Tinsley’s mother, who supposedly has major mental health issues, cut off contact with her son right away. Actually, Tinsley did not get to meet his child until he was one year old.
It’s shocking to consider that she could have coerced Sawyer into fighting her father, given that Sawyer appeared to have struck his grandfather in the face with a plastic instrument. Sawyer informed Tinsley that he had complied with his mother’s wishes.
Even though the courts obstinately maintained an equal custody arrangement between Sawyer’s two parents, Tinsley fought for full custody of his kid throughout the first few years of Sawyer’s existence. Having just “half custody” of Sawyer caused Tinsley to suffer agonizing frustration, which he confided in Stuckey about last autumn.
Tinsley had no idea that things would soon turn around for him.
Less than a year after his initial interview with Stuckey, Tinsley received full custody of Sawyer, who is now four and a half, last week. In order to commemorate this significant win, Tinsley and Stuckey spoke again on Thursday’s edition of “Relatable.”
Tinsley said, “It’s like an incredible miracle, a dream come true.”
In his explanation, Tinsley stated that Sawyer stays with him, that his mother has “a couple of visits each week,” and that he has “complete physical custody.” Even though more court cases are still very much a possibility, Tinsley is pleased that he can have Sawyer full-time while Sawyer continues to see his mother.
“We basically have to have discussions about legal custody,” Tinsley said. “But ultimately, I have the last word if we can’t agree.”
Stuckey was full of awe for Tinsley’s steadfast love and commitment to his kid. “It’s a significant sacrifice,” she said. “You did it because your son was worth it to you, even if it required a lot of time, effort, and money.”
Sawyer’s mother appears to still be struggling with her mental health, despite Tinsley’s best efforts to offer his kid a secure, healthy home. She has had many arrests, including one following a physical conflict with her father, and she still refers to Sawyer by the pronouns they/them.
It’s shocking to think that she could have forced Sawyer to fight, as it appears that Sawyer hit his grandfather in the face with a plastic instrument. Though his mother denied it, Sawyer told Tinsley he had done it at her request.
Tinsley remembered telling Stuckey, “The mother claimed that he did it only in her honor without her saying anything.” “I think Sawyer is credible.”
Tinsley and Stuckey talked about the political atmosphere in the Bay Area and California as a whole, which is much to the left. Despite the fact that extreme LGBTQ advocates just passed legislation permitting schools to conceal children’s alleged gender transformations, Tinsley has suddenly turned into a supporter of parental rights in his state.
Though Tinsley referred to Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom as “a lousy guy” and a poor leader, he maintained that local government officials prioritize the welfare of children before politics.
Tinsley remarked, “CPS in San Francisco… deserves praise.” “Putting politics aside, they performed their duties. They set all of it aside, carried out their duties, and acted in Sawyer’s best interests.”
In addition, Tinsley wants to uplift those going up against comparable custody or other legal challenges. “Remain persistent no matter what. No matter how difficult it seems, no matter how dejected you are,” he said. “You have to persevere and figure out a means to keep going. That is the purpose of life. The hours shortly before dawn are usually the darkest.”
“You can never predict what will occur. Simply put, exert all the effort possible. Furthermore, you’ll feel much better about yourself for trying so hard than you would have if you hadn’t tried.”
