Just before making her fix she mentioned "Why Mario mother isn't doing something,? It makes me think she is running from some type of disappointment and is compensating something in her fix. Something she is avoiding. Even when on the phone with his manager, she seemed like she was trying to get her hands into something. They should consider trying to make an entirely diffeent environemnt for mom and let her strive for whatever she ever wanted to do. This would giveher something to fulfill her other than drugs and I think an addict with a long addiction should always stay in touch with an addiction center at least once a month even while they call theirselves a recoveree.

Mairo,remember this.using or sober your mother is FAR FROM A FOOL.if she says she wants to learn your buisness in&out you better let her do just that.so mr. manager watch the hell out.i felt after viewing one of the clips 2 or 3 that shawn wasnt that happy with someone within your close network of people helping you along with your career,trust in believe your mom"s as you call her noticed something that you havent yet.Mario, Shawn since i"ve known her has aways been crazy but,in a fun since.your mother was blessed with being able to see threw people,your grandmother could do that also as i remember back.so listen to her.remember a fool she's far from,foolish maybe sometimes.{smile}love you both in mario god has blessed you with a hell of a voice keep doing what you are doing boy...love sincerely a old friend of your mom's peace out baby.MAY THE LORD KEEP YOU IN YOUR FAMILY IN HIS ARMS NICKY

It opens your eyes WIDE to the reality that celebrities really are human, just like the rest of us. They’re many people out there who are dealing with the same thing Mario’s going thru, so in the end, he’s not alone. The fact that he brought his mother’s situation to the light, hands down, shows how vulnerable he is. Even though she didn’t want to admit to still using, I find it strong that she wanted to make an attempt to be part of his career. Fighting drugs at an old age, is very hard to do, because you’re mind is conditioned to the routine of using, so hopefully she’s doing good. I remember hearing my father doing drugs in the bathroom, I never wanted to believe it because, he was my father and as a child, you never want to think that your parent(s) is into things of that nature. It hurt my heart to realize it, but it made me strong. Till this day I haven’t approached him on the situation and I can still see he’s doing this, that and the 3rd but I will never bring my self to doing that. Drugs not only hurt your mind, body, & soul, but EVERY1 around you, either directly or indirectly. Lets fight the war on drugs…because 1 day, they just might never come out that bathroom….Anthony Everrett Hill
