Karen heeded her mother’s advice and proceeded with the wedding. She did not give up on her dreams of becoming a mother. However, she got a negative reaction from her new husband when she spoke about the alternatives they had! He said that he did not want to have kids with a “bag of bones”!

In the beginning, most people thought that Burris was a wealthy man. However, the truth would soon come to light—behind the luxury cars he drove and the designer clothing he wore, he was actually terribly in debt. “It wasn’t long after they got married that he started asking her for money. He’d give her some excuse, and she’d give him the money,” family friend Evelyn Wallace narrated. “He’d ask for $35,000 and $50,000 at a time. Finally, it got down to the point where all she had left was stocks and bonds.”
