My friend Charmaine Fuller died from an overdose on 3-8-25. Char died and I miss her. Charmaine couldn't escape Kensington. I tried so many times to help, motivate, and be a friend. RIP

It's like you can hear/see the 13 year old abused child talking through her. It's so sad. Her parents are 100% at fault for everything she's going through. I hope she finds peace, she seems lovely.

My heart broke when Charmain said that her family didn’t abuse her but then said she was used to pay her dad’s drug debts. That’s some awful mental gymnastics she’s had to do to deal with her childhood. 😢

[joanne]

She’s currently 33 and her mom died last year at 47 - her mom had her when she was 14. Barely any of them had a chance of a normal life.

"Mu childhood wasn't all bad" but her father used her to pay his drug debts. I have no words. Its completely and utterly heart breaking 😢😢

[OrlandoAmy]

Charmain, it isn't too late. You are only 33. You are still a baby. You have a whole life ahead of you to do great things. You can do it!

[sharon]

Broke my heart when she said "I miss real people". It's so sad, what trauma can do and how it grabs hold of your identity.

[InHerDreams]

She seemed terrified of the idea of her children watching this, but someday down the road, it might bring them some comfort and healing to hear their mother's story, understand her pain and hear her say she loves them.

[ewechoober]

Jesus, she didn't even initially acknowledge that her dad pimping her out to pay off his drug money was abuse, that's so messed up, she was completely abused and her father was responsible. So sad.

[seanhadden]

She is poetry. She's in that place where most of us never want to visit, though we sometimes dance in and out of it... That sad and lonely void, where we have all been for a few minutes or hours. She is there always. She still has an amazing amount of grace, elegance and innocence... even shows through her tired beautiful eyes.
She is a part of so many of us.

[livintennessee]

There’s something so soft and feminine about her… her voice and choice of words, vulnerability, and mannerisms. I hope she learns to believe in herself and beat her addiction! ❤️

[vikicarts]

This woman just exudes sadness, it’s pouring out of her and is heartbreaking to watch.
This interview was a hard to watch. It’s like all the fight has gone and she’s simply accepting her fate. I hope she ends up ok.

"There's people out here worth saving."

[koreyhinkle]

I grew up with Charmain and she is such a sweet girl, watching this really breaks my heart for her….pray she can find a way out of that life

"There are people still worth saving." - Charmain
Charmain, YOU are one of those people. If you ever read this, understand that the choices you made in life are a result of that horrible, abuse that you were forced through at thirteen, when you were a child. A CHILD. I hear that sadness, hopelessness, regret in your voice, it is hard to leave something when it is the only thing you were exposed to since an early age. Stay strong and safe. I can tell you are a beautiful, kind soul and please remember your decisions have roots in that abuse and trauma you experienced. God protect you.

[doesheart]

I like her voice. Her tone is soft and fragile, but the pain and sadness are trying to shout down the beautiful sound. Please keep strong, you are a beautiful soul.

Imagine a man who sells his 13 year old daughter to fund his drug addiction. That's a whole other level of evil.

[SuzeeVeronicaASMRXOX]

Thank you Mark for giving Charmain the opportunity to be truly seen.

“I have a built in forgetter.” I felt that in my soul. Dissociating away from everything just to keep going.
