Hi Mario, I watched your life documentary on mtv last night and was very sad for you because I also know how it feel's. My father that I grew up without has been an addict for 30 years now and I have not seen him in about 15 years, I can't even find him. With prayer and faith God can change anything. Also I'm one of your biggest fans from your hometown Baltimore. I know how hard living in the inner city is for our young black males and I hope when my 9 year old son gets older I'll be very proud of him like your mother is of you. Tell your mother keep the faith and may God Bless you both.

Greetings,

I am a Sophomore @ Fayetteville State Uninversity and in my Drug Education class we watch the clips today. I related in so many ways with the clips and Mario life. I have went through and experience this before. Accept is wasn't my mom it was my father. Man, you are not alone. I really felt you on the part where you were like I'm not saying no to you I am saying no to your addiction. I believe that is so true because when you love some you want to help them and you dont want to give up on them. But it can be so hard, painful and depressing. I have had several days I just hide my problems behind a smile and pretend that nothing is wrong. But deep down in the inside your hurt so bad and its always in the back of your mind. There is not a day that goes by that you dont think about it. I respect what you did for your mom that is a true son who cares. I wish her the best. Hope all goes well. Keep your head up man and know that you are not alone.
God Bless, Shawn Odom

Hey Mario my name is chasity and I attend Fayetteville State University and we watched your documentary in my Drug Education class. Your story touched me in a lot of different ways. Some people think that just because you are a singer that you are suppose to have this perfect past and present but you have showed everyone that you are not perfect and that you have family problems that you are dealing with and its okay. I can relate to your story but instead of my mother it’s my uncle that I’m very close to. It really hurts when you know that if they keep doing what they do that one morning that might not be here anymore, thats when their family should step in and get them help just like you did with your mama. I am very proud of you and your mother; ya’ll both need each other. So keep your head up and always put god first because with god anything is possible take care, chasity

Hi my name is Heather; I am a student at Fayetteville State University, and we watched this documentary for a class. I just wanted to tell you that I think what you did for your mother takes true strength and it shows how much you really love her. It also really makes you think about “loving someone to death.” I commend you for allowing the public to see you in your real life, because when famous/celebs do that they prove that when it comes down to we all live in the same world. I also have loved ones with addiction problems. I have lost my mother when I was 18months old, an aunt in January of 2007, and a lot with close calls. It’s always hard to say no to them when they ask for things: whether it is money, items, or a ride, because you know why they are asking. Even though saying no is hard you must, because it’s like you said “[Your] not saying no to [them] you’re saying no to the addiction,” but that’s not what they convey it as. As a child I have went to sleep many nights and woke up many mornings praying that our own family wouldn’t rob us out of house and home. Even when they would try to get clean, they would just turn back to being an addict because where we are from that is all they know, and it was just so easy for them to get access to it. Drugs and addiction has torn my family apart just to bring it back together just to tear it apart. I learned at a long time ago that you can’t save everybody and more importantly it’s not your job to; it’s your job to pray for them and their healing and to speak the word of God to their spirit, because that’s how you help them. Also let them know that they are not alone and it’s OK to feel. I’m very proud of you and your mother, and good luck and God Bless.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY MARIO I PRAISE U 4 STAYING BY YOUR MOMS SIDE BECAUSE MOST KIDS WOULD HAVE GAVE UP ON THEIR MOTHER. REGARDLESS OF HER FLAWS, THATS STILL YOUR MOM, IS WHAT I SEEN U LIVE BY!!!
