The Carter family has been blighted by tragedy over the years - with three of the five siblings dying by overdose in just 11 years. Leslie died aged 25 in 2012 followed by Aaron, with Bobbie Jean passing in 2023 aged 41 from a fentanyl and methamphetamine overdose.
'There’s certainly a generational dysfunction issue here that comes along with it,' Angel said of their deaths. 'But as far as growing up, there was a time where we were a really close family... there was a lot of love.Just fighting, she continued. 'My parents were just fighting all the time. Just dysfunction in the home. No boundaries. No stability. No one to talk to. It just felt like, if I had an issue going on I really couldn't have my parents to lean on to.
