Carroll’s relationship with her children is not one of the best, especially with her daughter, Jewel. Lenedra is said to have left when Jewel was only eight years old, and she lost custody of their children to her ex-husband. The worst part was that after Lenedra left, Atz became an alcoholic and was very abusive towards his children, as revealed by Jewel who found life very hard after her mother’s departure.

However, Jewel later confessed that although things went initially like that, her mother later became her manager for a little while, and the two even founded a non-profit organization together before things went south between them, and they again went on their separate ways.
