The aftermath of a biracial marriage

Alfred was married to Patricia Hickey, who was an Irish -American. They got married in 1960 after falling in love. 

For Patricia, the aftermath of biracial marriage was extremely hurtful.

His wife, Patricia, was not happy with her relationship. 

She was alienated from her parents. She was not allowed to take her husband to her home and pretend to be single in front of relatives at family functions.

Divorce after having three children

Their eldest was born in the same year of their marriage. They welcomed their second child, Morgan. 

Their youngest daughter Mariah was born on 27th March 1970. After more than decades of marital relations, the couple got divorced. 

Mariah was just three years old at the time of their marriage. His eldest daughter Allison is estranged from her mother and sister. 

She sued her mother for sexual abuse. She claimed that she suffered a posttraumatic stress disorder because of sexual abuse during her childhood. She is also an HIV patient.

This is the reason she has been estranged from her siblings for years. She even labeled them as her ex-siblings.
