You did not fail your sister. It IS very difficult to deal with an addict. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister, and nephew. 💜🥰💜You will help others by sharing your story🥰💜
This poor lady is exhausted. It is written on her face the tired, regret of lost family and time. One of the truths this lady mentioned is that these people may be addicts but they are also people. Sick people that need help. How this happens and why I don't know, but they still deserve respect.
I really appreciate this interview because it’s so real on the daily living of the families. It’s so difficult and every day you just prepare for the call that your loved one is no longer living. My sister died of a fentanyl OD and it was painful when she passed away.
I Agree They Fail Themselves The System Works If You Do What Your Supposed To and Just Get Help Leave The Street Drugs Alone... Go To Meetings, Attend Counseling, Never Give Up!!!@@ikeswp4959
I work in the medical field and have for 40 years and your right the system failed her , not her sister , not parents of children who have lost there lives to this it’s the system and our government , I read one store where there’s what they call a broker , he send money for this one child to get dirty and then he gets that child into rehab and he gets a kickback from the rehab for sending that child back , I’ve seen this with nursing homes to and my dad is in one now , they wanna keep every bed full no matter how they do it and it’s so so wrong ! 💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢
God this is so heartbreaking. The ripples that go through the family when fentanyl steal these people's lives. 😞😞😞 Recovering addict here in Western Kentucky.
My gosh, this sweet lady is so filled with grief and guilt. I'm crying with you 🥺 I know what's it's like dealing with an addict. It really does wear you down. But they are still the person you love. I'm so sorry this happened to your family. Thank you for sharing your story. I know its not easy. Your family is in my prayers 🙏
Angie, thank you so much for sharing your story. You are right, every addict was once a little boy or a girl, laughing and smiling and loving life and then life changed. Addiction is a formidable foe, but I believe there is always hope for those who want to get clean and sober for themselves. You did everything you could’ve done and so you just hold your head high. You are such a sweet, caring lady. ❤️
I hope you're getting help for the trauma you've been through. It's so much. You're right, it's not about values or morals, and it's not something you could have changed. Thank you for your kindness and courage.
💔You did not fail your 40 yo sister, she failed you, herself and her family. When you blame yourself you are failing yourself, your health might suffer. My heart is breaking for you all💔
Same for the father of my daughter. His awful wife and her sons tried to get rid of all the drugs in the house before calling 911😢. I feel the pain, even though we weren't together. It was a lot for my daughter. I still grieve 7 years later.
I'm so sorry for your daughter and you have a great ❤️ to acknowledge the wrong that was served to him by wicked individuals that was supposed to love him.
I feel your pain. My ex of 7 years died march 19 2024 of a fentanyl overdose. I still loved him but couldn’t be with him, cut off contact, and hadn’t responded to his contact for over a year. Then I found out he died, and it was a devastation I wasn’t prepared for. I know he would never use alone and I suspect someone else was there that night with him, but I too suspect they left him there in that state to cover for themselves. This sort of death is so avoidable, and it leaves you with so many “if only” and “what ifs”. My heart does out to you, your daughter, and everyone who has lost someone to fentanyl
Oh my heart 💜. This grieving woman did not fail her sister. Trust and believe that I as many others have done , turned every stone to try and lead our loved one to recovery. At my sons worst, I flew 5000 miles to try and bring him home for treatment in order to save him. Flying back home without him I truly understood just how powerless we are over addiction (Step 1 of the 12 step program of both AA and Ala-non). As parents and loved ones, we have done everything to try to get our loved one to a place of wellness however it’s their responsibility to seek and maintain a life of sobriety. All the education I consumed about addiction and all the advocating I have done is not going to change a thing unless our loved one takes the responsibility for their own life and is willing to change. I’m sorry for her losses. I pray for a day when every life can be saved from the disease of addiction. 🙏🏼
I'm so sorry for your loss. In Louisiana, our prosecutors take fentanyl pretty seriously and I'm very happy about that. You didn't fail your sister, addiction is a monster.
Palm beach county in Florida also does not charge those who deliver the fentanyl to the deceased victim with homicide. The individual is not even questioned or investigated.
The victim advocate in Palm Beach County was useless as well. Thank you for your statement and video. I am so sorry for your the loss of your sister and nephew.
Angie, I am sorry. It's so sad what you have been through . Too many loved ones dying and not in peace because theres no justice in too many cases. How sickening.
As heartbreaking and tragic as this is, I do not think you can blame everyone around the addict for failing, the addict has a choice and until they are ready to help themselves there is nothing anyone else can do.
Oh this broke my heart. Her nephew-so young. Her sister…” let’s take care of our moon together cuz she’s getting older “…. Didn’t get to do that together. Oh I don’t know how people make it through. “Someone’s family “. RIP 🤍🕊 You didn’t fail your little sister. I’m so sorry. 😞
I have a 70 year-old sister who is a drug addict smokes crack I’m so embarrassed of her. She’s a grandmother, mother, great grandmother, aunt sister, daughter.
I am very sorry for your losses. There was nothing you could have done for her. Nothing at all. Your Sister lived her life on her terms. Your nephew did too. You so wished for a normal life for them but addiction takes them from you. Hopefully with this next administration, harsher sentences will be mandatory all across the USA including where you live. I wish the best for your entire family including your Son. I do think addiction runs in families honestly in their DNA somehow. I'm so thankful Texas Pictures gives these people voices to share.
My deepest condolences to you and your mother on Melissa and Blake's passing. I pray one day you will give yourself the love and comfort you so deserve because you did not fail your sister. You did whatever you could to help Melissa. That included not enabling her. May God grant you His peace and serenity. 🙏
My dear you did not fail your sister. You did not cause her addiction , you could not control or cure it. You detached with love which is all we can do for our addicts. Your sister knows you loved her. The addiction beast is terrible and fentanyl is a poison. I’m so sorry for you and your family. Addiction and addicts make us emotionally frail. Love the person, hate the addiction.
Your story saved our family, and another addict. Thankyou for the coursge to speak out. You did NOT fail your sister!!!!! Nobody really dies,and once your "soul" leaves your body, it doesnt matter what happens to thst "old coat" that you have discarded. Your sister hears your thoughts/words, you can still speak to her. She is closer than you think!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What's the number of your prosecutor's office? I don't mind calling them. You are not responsible for the decisions your sister made. She would not want that either. We can try to help them but they make their final decisions. ❤
There are many studies on why people become addicts. I think there needs to be studies on why some people never even try recreational/illicit drugs. (What was the difference between this woman and her sister?) I've never tried any drug - not even weed. (I've had wine, but I've never been intoxicated.) I think, initially anyway, it was because my mother forbade it. I knew how much my mother loved me and knew she would never steer me wrong. The scourge of drugs in the US is indicative of something fundamentally broken in our culture. This is the answer we should be seeking. Why are so many seeking drugs???
It's because all children are bullied, and now online, so everyone sees it. Schools do not care, and do not teach classes in mental health. Everyone should be celebrated for their DIFFERENCES! We need to prevent/recognize/treat childhood depression, anxiety, social isolation... and NOT with drugs, prescribed or illegal! By not addressing these issues early, kids will self-medicate with illegal drugs that are so available. They can be ordered and delivered faster than a pizza!
So , so sorry for the loss of your sister and nephew. This is unbelievable that there is no ongoing support for people that are addicted. We lose the best and brightest to this scourge.
Toinette Jones was murdered by a serial killer named Chilly Willie and after her murder her mother was at peace. She stated that no one can protect a person from themself. A very true statement.Chilly was convicted for 3 murders but he probably committed more. This was around the year 2000 in Seattle,Washington.
I’m so sorry. Drugs are bad and these are the consequences of those drugs. I get it I don’t understand. For me I would never do drugs one reason is I don’t want to die and another is I LOVE my family and I don’t want to intentionally remove myself from the world because I would never want them to think I don’t love my family.
Dear sister, sending you a big hug! You are a amazing sister, and did everything possible. But you eventually have to let the addict live her own life. Drugs rewire your brain, and drive your (bad) choices. Im sure though, that drugs could not change/diminish her love for YOU! She would be so proud of you for speaking her truth. Please seek grief counselling and watch those NDE videos, their stories are NOT illusions. Your sister/cousin are still a part of your life, but watching over you. They just got to go back "home" a little early. They are the lucky ones. Its much harder on those of us left behind.
Unpopular opinion I understand where the Prosecutors coming from. It’s not homicide when you knowingly and willingly take drugs! We have to stop blaming everything on the drug dealers and get real with ourselves. If we are going to go that route and blame drug dealers we need to blame the liquor store and the connivence store that sale cigarettes bc both of those are killers of Americans!
Addiction is evil. No one wants to be a slave to a substance. When you try to quit your body rebels in sever pain… your mind rebels with (depending on the substance) delusions, depression, fear, anxiety and insomnia. Then IF your lucky to get past all of that (after many time’s trying) You hv to face everything you did while addicted… all those you hurt/harmed. Plus deal with the core reason why you used. Which is a whole different mental battle… and yet another weak time at which a person might use again… but some do make it out of the vicious cycle…
Thank you for your comments. We also have a series of addiction recovery stories that you might find interesting. Here’s a link to that playlist. Journey from Addiction to Recovery Series ruclips.net/p/PLdCPA32W_p39Z8hi7xSIX3Fkqmhd7mRzj
Dear Angie, First and foremost: I‘m really sorry for your terrible loss! 😢 No one should have to suffer like you did, twice! And the second most important thing: You did NOT fail your little sister by any means! And I really hope that you one day will be able to see that. And now to the part which I have to write because you literally could feel the anger and disappointment from Angie through the monitor and I won‘t say that I can understand it cause I‘ve never lost a loved one to Fentanyl or any other addiction but I can see why you are angry and disappointed and that’s mainly because of Mr. Kevin Hillmann, am I right? I normally do NOT wish people bad things in their life but I‘m very tempted to wish Mr. Hillmann (he is the prosecuting attorney of Pulaski County, MO) that he would be in Angie‘s shoes, for five minutes! I bet he would NOT like it at all. And I‘m also very tempted to send the office of Mr. Hillmann this video but I won‘t do it cause I don’t want Angie to get in any sort of trouble, because she is already suffering enough! Tbh I can‘t understand it why they didn’t charge both people with at least murder in the second degree, but giving the female a sentence of 120 days… seriously? In that way I fully understand why Angie is that much disappointed and she has every right to feel that way. And I kind of admire Angie of not being full blown angry and shouting out loud, she again has every right to… I really hope that Mr. Hillmann is reading this, if you do so Sir: YOU FAILED! And by the way, I‘m from Germany, so I have to trust Google if Mr. Kevin Hillmann is the person Angie was referring to. If not, I‘m sorry but I only typed the words „Prosecutor“, „Pulaski County“ and „Missouri“ in the Google search bar and the answer was his name… Again Angie, you did NOT fail at all, if someone failed -> The Prosecutor of Pulaski County, MO!!! With sad and a bit angry regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp
Seems like the prosecutor shouldn’t be able to be the person who decides whether a death is ruled a homicide… I wonder if in this case it’s bc in some places county coroner is an elected position. And coroners also don’t have the same level of knowledge and authority as medical examiners as they are not physicians. What a shame.!
It is not your fault. I was strung out on fentanyl two years because of my own trauma and pain had nothing to do with anyone else but my own trauma and pain and demons I have two years clean now but I was so deep no one but me could stop me .
This is the biggest example that addiction is an illness and does not discriminate. And I think the prosecutor is being bought out by the drug dealers. I hope he reads my comment not that he would care. What if it were his family?! Why would they say your sister is a crime scene and not prosecute?! That prosecutor should be investigated.
This poor woman … I can feel her panic, she is going a mile a minute.
Agreed. She is so traumatized. My heart breaks for her.
You are raising your sisters kids…that is not failure, but an act of love. I hope you and your family may find peace and healing among such tragedy..🫶
You did not fail your sister. It IS very difficult to deal with an addict. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister, and nephew. 💜🥰💜You will help others by sharing your story🥰💜
Key line...You will HELP others telling her story❤
God , I can feel the sisters heartbreak through the screen😢💔

You didn’t fail them. I lost my little brother, nothing we did was going to keep him clean. The system fails them. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The sad part is they have to save themselves. My son clean going on 3 yrs it's a life time journey
I'm so sorry this happened to you.
RIP Blake
RIP Melissa
As heartbreaking and tragic as this is, I do not think you can blame everyone around the addict for failing, the addict has a choice and until they are ready to help themselves there is nothing anyone else can do.
I agree. It’s misplaced anger but I understand grief can cause this. An addict will likely find their way to this demise without wanting to change
She has so many things to work through, just a constant wall of words to keep the inner voice drowned out. Hope you find peace.
💔🙏🏽 So very sorry for your losses.
The above lady is right the system is broken.....I feel your pain and I'll keep u and your sister in my prayers...stay strong❤

They don't care, they are too far gone! Age doesn't come into the equation.😢
Your sister had no choice and you did not have a choice. It hurts so much! And you do not have any guilt, dear Aunt and Sister! ❤

I’m glad you’re calling these people out, it’s just a job to them. They have no compassion unless it’s their child or family member.

I wish SOMEONE STOP THE MADNESS OF FENTANYL, SO MANY PEOPLE GONE, SO TRAGIC GOD😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Watching from Newport News Va
We can feel your pain and your love ❤
Man, she broke it all down so well. Two deaths in roughly a year. Oh boy, I can't imagine.
So many people die in from drugs but there are a lot of innocent people dying that do not do drugs Like murder
😢 I'm sorry for your losses. Sending Condolences to you and your family.
I can't watch this..😢😢😢
Bummer.
They were lucky to have you.
I’m so sorry. Drugs are bad and these are the consequences of those drugs. I get it I don’t understand. For me I would never do drugs one reason is I don’t want to die and another is I LOVE my family and I don’t want to intentionally remove myself from the world because I would never want them to think I don’t love my family.

Who VOTED that prosecutor in office?!?
I feel her pain. She is sadly seeing the reality (twice) of this awful drug
Paix à leurs âmes et force à vous ❤ hug from Paris
How sad

All we can do is be the best parents we can be, any or all outcome is not promised. Sadly!
My condolences to both sweethearts. 🕊️🌺🕊️

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😥
Dear Angie,
First and foremost: I‘m really sorry for your terrible loss! 😢
No one should have to suffer like you did, twice!
And the second most important thing: You did NOT fail your little sister by any means! And I really hope that you one day will be able to see that.
And now to the part which I have to write because you literally could feel the anger and disappointment from Angie through the monitor and I won‘t say that I can understand it cause I‘ve never lost a loved one to Fentanyl or any other addiction but I can see why you are angry and disappointed and that’s mainly because of Mr. Kevin Hillmann, am I right?
I normally do NOT wish people bad things in their life but I‘m very tempted to wish Mr. Hillmann (he is the prosecuting attorney of Pulaski County, MO) that he would be in Angie‘s shoes, for five minutes!
I bet he would NOT like it at all. And I‘m also very tempted to send the office of Mr. Hillmann this video but I won‘t do it cause I don’t want Angie to get in any sort of trouble, because she is already suffering enough!
Tbh I can‘t understand it why they didn’t charge both people with at least murder in the second degree, but giving the female a sentence of 120 days… seriously?
In that way I fully understand why Angie is that much disappointed and she has every right to feel that way. And I kind of admire Angie of not being full blown angry and shouting out loud, she again has every right to…
I really hope that Mr. Hillmann is reading this, if you do so Sir: YOU FAILED!
And by the way, I‘m from Germany, so I have to trust Google if Mr. Kevin Hillmann is the person Angie was referring to. If not, I‘m sorry but I only typed the words „Prosecutor“, „Pulaski County“ and „Missouri“ in the Google search bar and the answer was his name…
Again Angie, you did NOT fail at all, if someone failed -> The Prosecutor of Pulaski County, MO!!!
With sad and a bit angry regards from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp
Well said
Caption and title card says 30 years old but video says 40, just fyi
sorry it happened, but this lady is blaming everyone else for the user's problem.
Seems like the prosecutor shouldn’t be able to be the person who decides whether a death is ruled a homicide… I wonder if in this case it’s bc in some places county coroner is an elected position. And coroners also don’t have the same level of knowledge and authority as medical examiners as they are not physicians. What a shame.!
It is not your fault. I was strung out on fentanyl two years because of my own trauma and pain had nothing to do with anyone else but my own trauma and pain and demons I have two years clean now but I was so deep no one but me could stop me .
This is the biggest example that addiction is an illness and does not discriminate. And I think the prosecutor is being bought out by the drug dealers. I hope he reads my comment not that he would care. What if it were his family?! Why would they say your sister is a crime scene and not prosecute?! That prosecutor should be investigated.
