The Actress Ashley Judd has opened up about her horrific childhood.
In Ashley's new book 'All That Is Bitter & Sweet', Ashley reveals that she was raped repeatedly and suffered through a horrific, abuse-filled childhood that left her with deep psychological scars.
In the tome, Ashley says her upbringing was so torturous that the only way she could think to make the ache in her heart lessen was to die.
Ashley says, she went to (13) different schools between the ages of (5) and (18), growing up feeling unloved and unwanted.
Ashley's mother, Naomi, and father, Michael Ciminella, divorced when Ashley was 4, and Ashley admitted that as early as 7 she began suffering from depression.
The first of many sexual assaults that Ashley endured occurred when she was still a little girl living in Kentucky, where mother, Naomi had moved the family following her divorce.
Ashley Judd recalls in graphic detail being pulled into a dark, empty store by an older man who offered her a quarter to play a pinball machine.
