Ashley and her family have been through quite a lot this past year, you could go as far as to say it's been hell for all of them. Ashley's dad dean carpenter was very abusive to her, her mum Lynsey carpenter and her brother Aaron carpenter. Dean use to hit them when he would come back after drinking with the lads from work. After a family talk with the kids one night after dinner, Lynsey decided she has had enough of this abusive relationship with dean so she made a final decision of leaving dean and moving to Pheonix Arizona as far away as possible from him.
