This episode comes with warnings about alcoholism, drug usage, violence, and the use of profane adult language.

This is an update to a three-part narrative with Candi Rose.

Candi contacted us nearly a year after her first interview, and she asked to return and tell more about the abuse she suffered. We appreciate her for wanting to rejoin us and fill in more about the dark days with Ashton.

Candi Rose is her actual name. Her full name is Candace Rose. She was bullied in high school to the point where her mother moved her into a different school. There she fell in with the wrong crowd.

Things became worse as she made a series of unfortunate decisions. Her lack of experience, wisdom, or good judgment landed her in jail as a convicted felon. Once released what did she do to make a living? She became a stripper.

The twists and turns of Candi's life will have you tightly holding on. But, as with every survivor story, there is an abuse and there is as ascendence out to freedom and safety.
