rters and others. Trudy tells her daughter about her father, that he killed a man and made it look like he was the one who was killed, that he stole money from his friends, that he ran away and hid, that he is not a nice man, and that he is Ashley's father. Ashley does not want him to be her father, and given what Trudy has told her, why would she? The mother is quite happy to have made the daughter hate Patrick, and she also seems to be genuinely maternal toward the girl, seeing the two of them as a unit.
