gamzon (interviewed kennethea)

I interviewed Kennethea Wilson. She told me about the events in her life without a father that helped shape her present state of being. She explained how her father was always in her life until she was two. Then afterwards he became a steady drug dealer, and crack-cocaine addict. He was constantly in and out of her life until she was about five, then he decided to get clean. Unfortunately her mother wouldn’t allow her to see him often, because she had high doubts that he wasn’t truly sincere about his rehabilitation. Kennethea only got to see him once a week. Eventually her father became clean for about a month then her mother allowed her to see him more frequently. She oftentimes spent weekends and weeknights with her father. One day her father took Kennethea without her mother’s permission and her mother panicked when she realized that Kennethea wasn’t home. When she was aware of where Kennethea was, she called the police, but they couldn’t legally do anything, because her father still had full parental rights. Kennethea’s mother took her father to court and had his parental right limited. After that incident Kennethea’s father went back to the streets, and the last time she saw him was at age eleven. Later she had received a phone call from a correctional facility. Her father then explained to her that he was in prison for murdering someone over petty money, and that he would probably be there for a long time. That was the last time she spoke to him, and she frequently rejects his letters.
