Well, hello.
What challenges did Karah face growing up with an incarcerated father?
My name is Kara and I am from a small town called Owensboro, Kentucky. And... I am here to kind of just explain my story and my childhood and just to bring awareness to children with incarcerated parents and any child that has to grow up, you know, maybe not in a great home setting, so to speak, or childhood trauma, you know, and whatever face that might look like for them. I'm going to tell the story. I guess I'm going to go into it with all the like brutal things that may have happened at first, because that's going to kind of set the tone of how the whole storyline plays out, how it affected my mom, how it infected my dad and how it affected my two brothers. So I am the baby girl of two older brothers who I absolutely adore.
I think the world of my brothers, they have been my true real life heroes. Honestly, I don't know where I would be without both of them and to know what we have had to go through and for them to know what they have seen a little bit more firsthand maybe than I have and to see how they are today. is a Mac is beautiful it is the most I can't I don't sometimes I can't even put it into words like how much because I just I'm still in awe I still sit back I'm like oh my gosh Yeah, that's amazing. Yes. So my dad was in prison my whole life for 32 years. I'll be 33 next month. He was in and out of prison. And he actually recently died. It was a year ago, around about a year ago. And I unfortunately did not get to make amends meet with him either.
So... But that's okay. It's all good.
How did addiction impact Karah's family dynamics?
But like I said, I'm going to start back to the beginning and kind of let, I'm going to set the tone and then we'll go into this.
And you're probably about to answer this anyway, if you're about to start at the beginning. But so when you were born, he was already in prison.
Yes. Okay. So when he had went to prison when I was three months old. Okay. I was three months old, my brother was five, and my other brother was ten years old. And my mom, and it was my mom. Growing up, my mom never lied to us. My dad went to prison for manslaughter self-defense. So, that's where it all started. I'm going to go into the kind of person my dad was. My dad loved to live life on the edge. He loved the fast life. But anything that thrilled him, anything that may have brought him adrenaline, anything from what I've been told, he went after. My dad was... My dad never really had like a normal job, so to speak. My dad was heavily into maybe some things that aren't considered normal by any means.
In lack of better terms, my dad was a very big drug dealer. Very big drug dealer. So my mom sold all the stories that I have been told my whole life. My mom told me that just that my dad was just on drugs. And probably about two years before I was born, he just kind of went crazy. That he was going wild. He wasn't coming home.
What led to the tragic event in Karah's father's life?
He wasn't finding nothing good that was offered to him. Yeah. He was running around and cheating on my mom a lot. My mom, you know, was working, taking care of two boys and was pregnant. So I'm going to start off with like the night that my dad had committed, I guess, the murder, lack of better terms. So and I'm going to start off with the very day because I do know that like by heart. So they wake up. My family does. And it's a normal day. My brothers go to school and my mom comes back home and is getting ready for work. My dad is not home at the time. My dad isn't home at the time. And he pops up. So my brother Ron had told me he remembers this specifically, that he remembers my dad arriving home that day because he had went to school, which was just right down the street from where we lived.
