My brother is homeless and on drugs. I took him in told him my extra 3rd bedroom was his the only terms were no using and actively look for a job. Not keep one just look for one. He stayed 2 nights the 3rd day he never came back. It's now been over 1 year since I heard or saw him. He would always come by my job Downtown Miami once every 2 weeks or call me from some strange number and check in. I drive and walk around Downtown Miami looking for him. I call the morgue and check the jail online logs. 2 things I know he's not in jail and he's alive. When I see homeless people I ask them if they would like a meal and I bless them praying that someone is also good to my brother. I cry so much. These streets are not kind

[@sheresejames-grow1779]

I lived in Miami. So sorry this is happening. Prayers to you both for what each of you need from God.

I hope your brother is ok and gets clean soon. I lost a brother in 2012 to an overdose. It’s like watching someone you love drowning and they won’t grab the life raft! You can yell at them and beg them and pray for them. But nothing changes until they decide to grab the raft.

A person's brains has different ways to process and cope with trauma. Maybe this was her way to "cope" by trying to convince herself it was a nice experience and not forcefully raped and causing physical pain. But the reality is... Rape is rape.

While talking about her upbringing, she minimizes her trama. It's her way of coping with it. She is stronger than she knows....

[@PressCtrlG]

There is something so lovely about her. She carries this peaceful, positive energy. She speaks about all her situations, they sound difficult to me, but to her they are just moments in her life that made her who she is. Near the end of this she said, "I should write a book!" Please write a book Doreen, I'd love to read it. I wish nothing but the best for you.

[@aracelic.2722]

I agree💯

[@sharonhutchins5784]

She’s jerky…her voice is cracking, and I can just feel the cracks in her entire life as she slowly kills herself. A book would only fund her habit further. I had a crack addicted sister who became sober after her little girl was killed in a car accident along with our mom who was taking her granddaughter to a psychologist that morning to help her deal with her mother’s dysfunction. Indirectly, her little girl was killed because of her lifestyle. She has to deal with that the rest of her life. Anything that would enable this woman will lead to her demise. No book. No way.

[@QuinnieMae]

I'm going to get blasted for this, but this is one reason parents need to stay together. And if they can't stay together, each parent needs to _not_ bring others into the home. Get out with the girls, get laid all you want when the kids are at Vacation Bible School, go to Vegas for sleazeball extended weekends with your old college peeps. But don't bring anyone else into your home to stay until your kids are gone.

[@QuinnieMae]

@@kimnixon5357 BAM! I didn't see your comment when I made mine but damn, it's a momma like you that gives me goosebumps. I have chicken skin on my arms and legs after I read your comment _truly_ because you legitimately, _literally_ put your dating desires on the back burner for your kids. Every kid should have a mum like you 🥰💯 I think back to my childhood now that I'm older and whereas I used to think people who talked about "two parent homes" were damn fuddy-duddys. My mom was single and she raised me as well as she could. And it worked out well. Yet I think two parent homes are best, and if we can't keep two parent homes staying single or not bringing strangers into homes where our children should be protected is the next best thing. And while I had a beautiful MOTHER with a heart of absolute gold, if I didn't I'd want one like you. A parent that keeps their child first priority until they get (the hell up) outta the house is a parent that has significantly decreased the risk of harm to their children. You're fantastic, Kim!

@S R First of all which women are you really referring to and whos life are you referring to with your contradictive comment that "every woman believe that their problems stem from a man". It sounds more like a personal issue you have against the women you've had in your life , or crossed paths with and are blaming women as a whole for your personal experiences because no where in Jamie Cornelius comment did she ever mention or imply that ALL MEN are responsible for ALL WOMENS issues. She said it sounds as though that the man "Pedophile" munipulated them all and she's 100% right. He molested Doreen from age 13 until she was 17 and she also said her tormented all the women in that house makes him a sick pedophile. That important fact seemed to go right over your head, then for you even call him a man and make a ignorant comment like that says alot about you as a person.

@lila W - I absolutely LOVE what you chose to write because it is very TRUE. Unprocessed Trauma can lead to many many other physical & mental health disorders.... I understand about that kind of stuff because I suffered a lot throughout my early childhood & into my adult life. It wasn't until I turned 38 in 2019, that all of my personal struggles & traumas became to heavy to carry around anymore and I had a nervous breakdown, including a panic attack that felt like a heart attack! Anyhow, I'm learning a lot about my "Inner Child" and how to re-parent myself. I feel like Doreen certainly has a long way to go, but she deserves inner peace. I admire your comment, it was well written and you made it Positive. 🙂👌🏻💙

[@lilaworley8935]

@@7777VANITY I truly understand your comment and appreciate your thoughtful reply and honesty. I am so sorry that was your experience. I have had my share of unprocessed trauma as well .... So I understand your reaction to it and also understand what we adult children... need to do, in order to free ourselves from our painful past. I'm so glad you're rising above the generational legacy of a dysfunctional family of origin. It takes a strong soul to break free. Well done! Stay strong. Stay true to yourself. You are not alone. If you haven't found it yet.... An empowering short book for this kind of process is "After The Tears" by Jane Middleton. It really helped validate my own experiences. Cheers to you and yours. 💜

Amandaaaa so good hearing your voice! Stay safe 😇

[@spacewombat6174]

'I had a good childhood... Mum provided everything for us.. Food, security, safety (and a boyfriend who molested me!!) Oh, and she put us in foster care when I was 2, and she was a heroin addict!! WTF???

[@carmencarmen9361]

She has a very calm and sweet demeanor. God bless her

[@avalondreaming1433]

Mark, you have a kind heart.

[@beanj580]

She is cool for maybe a half hour with that hit. Likely 15 minutes. It's a never ending, very expensive cycle. Sometimes you stop just to sleep for a day or so, and then thr cycle starts all over. While not physically addicting, it calls you. Don't miss it all all. Although the sound at the beginning makes you go back. I hope this lady gets its together

[@lizamaral7745]

Due to my profession i see everyday very terrible things, but in my Idea Drog and addiction ist the most devastating and sad thing which can happen to human being!!! It makes a alive man to a piece of nothing

[@shadowlessgam]

She reminds me of Tony Sopranos wife Carmela!

[@ChristinaG543]

I can see that! Edie falco. She has a similar body and super bright blue eyes, and talks super sharp

[@cynthiasmith7631]

Glad to hear Amanda’s voice! Praying for her!

[@OHNAHHSHAESHAE]

Molested at 13-17, good childhood 🙁 I feel for her bc she’s in complete denial. I was molested myself and for some reason I can’t find the hurt that I know I should be feeling... it honestly bugs me bc I feel I should be angry or something you know

[@LadyAngela678]

Im too cheap to do drugs.

[@PressedSteel1919]

watched a guy weld a set of rockers & left side floor pan & the damn trunk pan, on a 68 Camaro.....Doing all of it smoking crack !!!!!!.......& he did a good-ish job !!!!!

[@celinemccutcheon1988]

Wow!

[@ShanePodClips]

Did I really just hear you say you record all day sometimes and not use any of it. Holy Moly Mark....HOLY...MOLY lol

[@LoyaL6x10]

Tappin in. Blessings ppl. 🙏🏽☝🏽

[@cynthiasmith7631]

Doreen seems like a nice person. I pray she gets the help she needs!

[@brittaolson6550]

“That’s all you need...just a little hit like that?” That wasn’t no little hit!

[@Kimberly_K_]

lmao

[@giabuterakos]

Dang... my family is from Mani, southern Greece, next to Sparta and I don't smoke crack but I smoke fentanyl and shoot heroin. But I lived in both Greece and the valley and now I'm in Los Angeles still. She has the most beautiful eyes. But ya, I have a cousin named Doreen for the same reason. Name means gift.

[@prettyqirl69]

Yes finally! Amanda!!! Another video of her. I really hope she got help ❤️

[@letsgetdressed_sc]

I dont think I've ever heard any of the other interviewees talk about sex this much....and I'm not even sure how we got here. Based on how much she talked, you can tell she was quiet or suppressed at some point in her life

[@pinkpugginz]

It's all part of her daily lifestyle

[@letsgetdressed_sc]

@@pinkpugginz as it is for most prostitutes. I'm just saying, I've seen a lot of these interviews and have never heard anyone else speak about sex that much. Just an observation

[@christophermiller9589]

I can imagine how that sound could cause a person to relapse...

[@dianadundidit5343]

Never ever did that but I really liked that sound.. it was soothing????

[@Oldschoolways168]

That sound like it has alot of bake in it.

[@dewilew2137]

Old school ways she’s not acting like it did lol

[@elizabethsheehan9748]

Nothing can "make" someone relapse..it can trigger and start the ball rolling...but they say and I can attest,that an addict in recovery relapses before they even ingest the drug...meaning it's all inside awhile brewing before the addict reaches the actual drug to get high on. Nonetheless it was nice of you to think of 😊 others!

[@christianwelch1535]

She’s only 40! That’s the sad part

[@mrssuchafknladyy2078]

Wtf. I’m 39🤭🤭 hell I thought I had a “bad life” but gotdam😂🤦🏾 I’m still praying for her tho but she is a hard 59 in the face, maybe it’s being in the streets or stress🤷🏽‍♀️

[@MrCostas32]

She's 50

[@td5044]

Right.. 50. 17-18 in 1987

[@yamomma6479]

she very clearly said she was 17 in 1987...not sure where that figure came from

[@mrssuchafknladyy2078]

Ayanna Powell mam I was going off somebody else sayin she was 40 and I was like gah dam I’m 39 and don’t look this rough😩

[@lovishlandson.u.m8653]

It sucks that people with a beautiful soul that means no harm can go through so much unnecessary pain, but I guess we have to look at it as things happen for reason, and because of her and other souls that are damaged we need to keep hope alive because for some that's all we have

[@Sarahandboo]

I searched for Doreen after seeing all the amazing photos of her by Suzanne Stein, not surprised that Mark has done an interview with her. Suzanne’s photos remind me so much if Soft white underbelly. So raw

[@ToxicAfricanKing]

"I do have certain morals and ethics. Crack don't change that."

[@LaJagaA]

I'm listing what Doreen is talking but I can't believe in her story that"everyone is so kind and wow"... She's is very positive minded... Doreen has very pretty smile I wish her best... I had homeless uncle who abbanded his family to "be free and drink when ever what ever" and he was killed by the young guys who was looking for entertainment...street are not save.

[@bethanybee5071]

Doreen seems cool af. God bless her and keep her safe ❤

[@reggaeone]

i'm not hating however when "KiKi" was being interviewed and hit the pipe that segment was not edited out. Yeah, I know Mark, decides what is included and what is deleted...but, interesting.

[@veronicamorgan6916]

I know..I thought the same but kiki's was more artistic and dramatic so maybe it's that element that the photographer wanted us to see (which was beautiful and yet sexy)

[@reggaeone]

@@veronicamorgan6916 I agree that Kiki's was more artistic and dramatic...and still one of the most beautiful and sexy. That's my point.

[@occaboutbeauty1]

I REALLY ENJOYED HER! VERY SPIRITUAL! PLEASE DO A PART 2 OR UPDATE! PLEASE THANKYOU

[@Leandatastic]

The way her words loop is called circumlocution xx and the hormone is oxytocin

[@k_xxo]

Doreen is someone I'd love to talk to when I'm having a bad day! So much love. ♡♡♡

[@beckerickson8034]

So long as she's high, right?

[@charleskendrick2338]

Tf!did she light up the crack😳😳

[@sherryparker3970]

Excellent interview God Bless her I pray for her speedy recovery

[@Cece-lb7nc]

Mark please can you get Amanda back so we can see she’s at least ok ! I was at least heartened to hear her pop up and be alive . We’re all wishing her well

[@YKWTFG0]

"I was safe, secure... my mom was a heroin addict.." pretty casual

[@Sweetcheeeks002]

My girl Amanda!!!!!! She’s still alive 💖🙏🏾
