- Here is the link to Kristin's UPDATE video: • Kristen Update
Street Disclosures interviewed Kristin in Orange County, CA. She used to be a mortgage broker making the big bucks. She is now homeless and addicted to fentanyl.
She is still coherent and has a chance to get off the streets if she is willing to go through the pain of stopping the drugs. I wish her strength.
like gucci mane she can stop it by force in prison or a center that force her to stop it even if it's in pain./
It begins and ends with a choice. I have done it myself. I hope she can win tjis battle, cuz if you don't you die.
She looks like she needs a exorcist
She's addicted to Fentanyl. She's toast. Nothing short of extreme measures can help her.
Thank You
She’s still a beautiful and well spoken woman. It’s certainly not too late for her to put this horrible time in her life behind her. Life sucks for a lot of us, all you can do is try to not make it worse...which drugs really do after a while. It’s so not worth it.
Filler
What does her being ‘ beautiful’ have to do with it? Would you say the same thing is she was butt ugly? I very much doubt it.,
Clearly you've never lived in a reality that you wanted to escape from
Idk maybe she can just get new kids too. I mean having suffered same and as my ex batters one child, takes naked showers together with my youngest, and lies to both kids the only solution is to die. Not by drugs though.
Bro wants to take her home, hose her off and call her his wife lmao
Not the crowd I would hang out with, but recently got to know a addict when I was renting a room. This guy was hard working and very honest a sincere person. I moved out and later read he was killed while he was high and started a fire by accident. 3rd degree burns over the majority of his body. Survived the fire, but died from the burns a few days later. Hopefully this woman gets some treatment and does not have a tragic ending.
Never ceases to amaze me how so Many men and woman cover their beautiful bodies with all those gross tattoos I mean I get the whole seeking attention and low self esteem stuff and how older woman thinking it some how makes them relevant or hip but jeez it can be really gross
@@craigvogel2935 I have 3 and I hate them all now, got them in my late teens and very early 20s. Would love to and probably will have them all removed.. because the way I see it- 20 years ago it seemed like having tattoos was the "ohhhh awww, you're so different" type of thing to do ..where I imagine here in 20 years from now, actually probably less than 20 years from now NOT having your skin covered in tattoos will be the "ohhh awww you're so different" type of thing to do..
@@TheRealEmShady I love you
Yet you lived with a junkie what did you blow him for free rent
Poor body, tattoing such a large part Is just plain gross and It will became worse with age, not to mention nobody would give you a job thinking you are stupid, a junkie or impresentable
Mortgage broker 17 years she has great knowledge, man if she cleaned herself up she could get back into it and study current laws and could be a ln advocate for people who are getting a second chance at life like her or move in a different direction like she said. She can do it! 🙏🏾 I pray she makes it out.
Everything you said was awesome right up until you got to the fake God.
Idk. In AZ that's a $20 an hour job. That's what I do. Not much pay at all
She is making more selling cootch on the street…unfortunately her looks will be done in 2 years…if someone could get to her in the next 18 months she can be saved and is probably a decent woman! She has learned her lesson…
That shit won't wash off.
@@SuperSedingAngeL-yr0 why does prayer bother you? It triggers something inside of you to leave a comment about it? Does it offend you people believe? If so shouldn’t it be just as offensive people don’t? Maybe you should respect people’s beliefs so they respect the lack of yours.
That's almost literally me 14 years ago! Same story, professional for 17 years, lost kids, addiction not a longstanding issue. What a strange feeling. I got clean later that year and remained so. I wish the same on her. Even the fence thing. Crazy.
Good luck. I have grandbabies now and am close with kids again. It's brutal but it is doable. Full disclosure on suboxone. Do not care so long as life stays "boring". ✌️💜
Subs saves lives✌
Until you give up that Suboxone. There is no hiding from the withdrawal...u will have to go thru it eventually. Full disclosure....I KNOW.
@@Tootsiepop420 oh I know. I'm 58 now and have a blown out knee. I know the suboxone helps with managing the pain. It's 6 mg but I know it will be a long taper. Was on methadone for years before switching 4 years ago. I am ok with it. I am a functional human again. But definitely individual choice.
Your comment made e veryhappy thank you.
"Almost literally". People keep finding new ways to misuse "literally" 🙄
She's my age. After I got out of prison back in October of 2015, I had nothing. I could've stayed at people's houses while I worked and saved for 1st, last, and security, but I got myself in my own mess, so I will get myself out... myself. I was homeless from Oct 2015 to May 2016, and it was actually crazier than prison imo. Breaking into summer rentals just to shower and stay warm at night. Sleeping outside. Washing up at my work bathroom at 5am. It sucked but I did it. I hope the best for this woman. She will do it if she really wants to♥️
Being homeless is a horrible thing. I was homeless for a year and a half back in 2010-2011 in Rochester, NY. I had to endure not one, but two brutal winters so thank the lord she is at least in a warm climate. She seems like a very intelligent, well spoken woman. You would never suspect she was homeless if you saw her sitting on a park bench and struck up a conversation with her. I found my my out and I hope she does too.
They have so many homeless in Rochester living under bridges, parking garages and abandoned subways. May God bless them all! The winters in Western NY are brutally cold!!!🥶
Congratulations
I’m from Rochester but not in Buffalo, yea the winters here ain’t no damn joke!
"Every knows it's Windy... "
I'm in Floriduh praying for those winters
I don't do drugs at all and I don't drink alcohol at all. I've been homeless bouncing from here and there since 2019 after having a stroke in my sleep in August of 2019. I became homeless because of my medical conditions, disabilities and limitations. I cannot work at all anymore. I'm also a survivor of domestic violence and stalking so I'm taking things day by day.
Are you on disability?
@@natatron My attorney is fighting for my disability case for me.
Please
Holy S, dude. I hope your OK! Getting Stalked sounds about as scary as it can get… 😢
@@dethkon It sucks and being stalked by someone who you don't even know is the worst. You can't make a report if you don't know who the person stalking you is. It ruined my life and caused me more mental and emotional suffering and pain then I already had.
Being homeless is the absolute worse. I was homeless twice in 2012 and again in 2013. Once from my ex assaulting me and I had nowhere to go and then after getting myself a good career and apt, I got in car accident at work and workers comp didn’t even pay half of my rent. It is the most devastating thing that can happen to you. Sleeping in your car in the cold winter, you feel absolutely lost and worthless to the people around you.
I hope she can pull herself out of this, get sober and restart her life. I know she’s heartbroken over the custody loss..but she can turn it around. My ex won our case temporarily and I fought and fought and got my kid back. Even if it’s just visitation it’s much more than she has now. I truly hope she can turn her life around, best of luck to her and much love sent her way ❤
She is choosing drugs over her kids
Thanks for sharing your story with us.
🙏 Respect
I’m a mother and an addict. Thankfully I’ve been clean for 13 years but I know that if I used again I would be back on the streets. I hope she gets the help she deserves so she can have a “normal” life and be with her children.
13 yrs too ! 😊
Congratulations on 13 years. You ROCK!!!!
@@paulchristie4904 great job friend!! Keep fighting the good fight
You're not an addict anymore, you defeated that insanely difficult battle & now you're stronger along with more cultured for it! Lose the stigma society labeled you with & be proud of yourself ❤️
@@respektetoutlavi714 I will forever be an addict. This battle won’t ever leave me. And that’s ok. It keeps me accountable. I use my truth to help others in their path to recovery. I’ve created an amazing support system and will continue to bring light to something that is extremely dark. Thank you for your kind words 💜
the only reason a mother loses a custody battle for her child means she's a much bigger drug abuser than she's admitting to...
True. She choose drugs and party lifestyle over her kids.
Yes. She’s lying about her drug history. Thats why she lost her child.
Are we surprised I had to read thirty "I'm so sorry for her- she's so smart and beautiful" comments till we got to the truth bombs? ...drugs were a problem before the loss of her kids.
💯 9/10 the mother wins the kids
That's the main thing I got from this interview. She's clearly not owning up to her drug use.
She seems super down to earth and honest. i hope she can get on a better path because i can see she deserves it. would love an update
The fact that she lost custody of both her kids tells you everything.
Oh yes she is a total victim. Poor mean people made her invest 20k in tattoos but held her at gun point forcing her to spend her rent money on dope. Someone please please take time out of your work day to spend your hard earned funds to support her habits. She is a victim after all.
Don't be a sympathizer she's there because she put herself in that situation.
she is not honest otherwise she would tell you when she started and that she was using in front of her kid and thats why she lost custody
You are naive if you think she’s honest
She's a survivor. The mere fact she applied her brokerage skills to market making on the streets tells you she's capable of bigger and better things. I hope she gets the courage up to tackle her addiction, right now that's the only thing holding her back.
Nah, It means she threw away a good life and her kids for drugs and personal pleasure. Females with lots of tattoos indicates deep psychological issues, most likely drug induced.
I agree!!
Right
Yea drug addicts will do that. They’ll use every resource to get their supply. But very rarely to help their family and children
@@jjgems5909 How do YOU know she didn't help her family? Do you know her personally?
She seems like an absolute treasure. I hope she gets back on top of it all.
It would be so inspiring to see her reunite with her kids, she would be the coolest grandma in her later life. full of wisdom and real life experience.
Having had a parent that bailed on me and my siblings for drugs, i can tell you, you're living in a dream world. Pissing away you've family takes a special person.
@@jceddy1 You sound very cynical. There's always the possibility of change.
Absolute treasure?! Full of wisdom?! Those tattoo's alone are an absolute abomination..
@@harrycallahan3391 well, i was trying to be positive and give some hope.
@@harrycallahan3391abdolute abomination.... LOL I am.sorry are we living in the middle ages?. Mu grandmother had tattoos..... It's very sad that we still have closes minded ignorant people on this planet.
Watching from Australia.
This lady is beautiful.. articulate and oozes charm.
Everyone is allowed to veer off their life path.. and that’s ok. It only takes 1 person to remind and encourage them, where their path is again.
I have huge hope and luck for her.. prayers out ❤🙏🏻
I feel so sorry for her. She is so pretty and so nice and well spoken. She just got overwhelmed by depression.
Yeah, no. Addiction is why she lost her kids. Obviously the drugs were more important than her children, since she's still using. If she was truly heartbroken by losing custody, she would have stopped using.
@Dave Bieleveld A hazard of my profession, yes. In medicine, we see it all.
@Dave Bieleveld No, that's why I'm honest. I don't lie in order to enable addiction.
@Dave Bieleveld There is no relationship between trauma and addiction. People suffer horrendous trauma every day - and have done throughout human history - but few become addicts. Addiction is a PERSONAL flaw, and happens all too frequently in the absence of trauma.
Lord wrap your arms around this beautiful woman Christin and help her get out of the hell hole that she's in!!! Let her get clean whole and healthy and happy again so she can live a beautiful life back with her kids and family!!! "AMEN"
Why would God help anyone outside of the Divine Order?
@@fumedchristitsproven1781 that's right they would have to ask God to come in to their lives and pray that he would come into their lives and help them.
@@roadwarrior4813 sigh, it’s not that simple. To you what does, “a house divided cannot stand”
@@fumedchristitsproven1781 I'm not getting into it with you and you have your opinions I have mine if you believe in your heart that God is your savior he will listen to everyone that opens up to him!!!
@@roadwarrior4813 Matthew 7:22-23 consider these scriptures carefully and maybe you will catch the mistake. God doesn’t answer those who cheat the righteous. Especially the Top Martial Artist ever possible
She is beautiful. I pray she gets the help she deserves!
That's all we care about. Beauty gets a free pass. She's a addict and hooker who mistreated her kids the court took them away. Courts will allow even addicts and convicted criminals to keep kids...well moms. A woman has to seriously do bad things to loose custody. You heard one side of the story which she made up and is coming from a hooker addict. And you believe her.
What if she was Ugly ?
@@jimmyhvy2277 If she was ugly he perhaps wouldn't wish her anything.
@@kendalgee5808 Funny (not so funny) how that works.
@@prelude12341 People who say " oh she was so beautiful, so much to live for " it's like.. df you saying? ugly people don't have anything to live for? lol.. fuken idiots make that " she was so beautfiul, how sad " comment. lol
Addiction is the devil. I feel for those who are in its grip. Hopefully this gal will be able to power her way back to where she wants to be.
I Read you saying Addiction is the Devil.
But, the Devil is my Device. Otherwise we (edited this from You to We...first rule to all of this, dont get carried away, sorry. But the Flame is The Key, that is a human in its very core, the propellant of life so to call it, so its hard work balancing the Two but i Love it. ;D) would be Like Cows in the Meadow, Jus grazin it away in the sunset, noone the wiser. ;D
And, you havent quite located it accurately.
He is the Master of Disguise, remember ?
Ah, but ok since the Time has Come again, I will Tell you a few things, and I guess this Time, wel Kick it off, like in a real Foothball game, a whole team of players!
Because, remember that i have sown the Seeds? ;D
So, Addiction or great variety of other expressions which i have made to serve my Device are outter First Layers of Defense. and that is just a layer of defense, pay attention to details, just a layer of defense, nothing to my ingenious Device of cours as we peel down, it can get to something.
And Guess What! :;D
Your Body, your Eyes and Ears, and anything else with wich you can pick up outside information or stimuli, And from the inside of you, like when you just stop and check whats up with you or whatever, just about this endless pages can be written, what a mess...anyway.
You are the Counter Device! :D
Use it.
It starts with Me, with You, i got better, less bad habbits, more good habbits, and thats it.
It is me and you, that sustain this Civilisation as it is, and Between the first layeres, of homelesnes and addictions, and whatnot else, the last layer is You, which is the Civilisation.
Which is the Device in the Core of cours.
No bad man or woman can destroy all good men and woman, and no good man and woman can destroy all bad man or woman. I take care of that. Cause its the percentages battle, Just like with your Economical systems, Trade and whatnot.
Currently we are at 45% awakened beings, once its majority shareholding, over 51%, then it kicks in automatic, and people will start saying and accepting that life is good and that anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool, or fighting with windmills. ,D
This is Almost Unimaginable Play we are all In.
From a Human Perspective.
But what a Beautiful and Dreadful perspective it is.
Yep.. I know a girl just like her.. First she lost her kids then it all went down hill from there. She got on drugs. She didn't pay her rent. Invited all the bad people into her life . Lost her apartment. Months later I found her homeless. I tried to give her a bottle of water and she refused it and thought I poisoned it. I left her standing there feeling sad for her...
Old expression addicts will refuse help until their spirit is Broken You can Lead a Horse to Water but you can't make them drink !

@NOLA why kill the dealer, it's your son's fault
@Howie. If your friend lost her kids, it was for a dam good reason. Means she was ALREADY on her way DOWN.
@NOLA Chromatography is your friend. Lots of interesting and useful chemicals in this world, look into the historically common ones used. Learn the information through books, buy in person wisely, cash only of course. Don't throw your life away when you can have your cake and eat it too, even preemptively if need be. I wish you well and may it all work out for you and yours.
Most mothers don't lose a child custody battle.
I agree. She's not giving the full picture
They have to be complete train wrecks as she clearly is
They could if husband was a lawyer...
I'm always amazed at the levels people will go to tattoo their body and the amount of money spent on it.
Alot of people get their work free. Artists like canvases. Willing friends benefit.
It almost just looks like a big tattoo sleeve shirt
Whats it to you?
@susiex6669 It's just my comment, nothing more. It means nothing to me. Just like you, your comment, and this woman, this post means nothing to me. Have a good day. You asked.
She looks like she’s well before the point of no return. Very beautiful, educated sounding and well presented. Really hopes she can unhook herself from the drugs or other things that may be holding her back - and fix whatever it was that caused her to lose the child custody battle after initially winning it. Good luck to her.
She lost custody because of the drugs man
@SassySam she's lying
@@chrispekel5709 mind reader. nice.
@@MrMutterbug women never lose custody unless they're a: mentally ill to the point of needing to be hospitalised, b: a sexual molester, or c: on drugs so often she's a danger to the child. Can sometimes be a mix of all 3.
Well presented??!! Those tattoo's are an absolute abomination..
I hope she gets the help she needs and will get sober. She is a bright woman, just needs to be guided and helped.
Best of luck to this lady. She seems sincere and honest with herself. Acknowledged her problem and trying to find a solution amd help. Hope she finds it.
Honest? Obvious lies and you bought it.
Man if you are a dude you are a simp! Feel bad for this thing!? Are you joking!? Her tattoos and drugs came before her child! She is a POS!
She’s where she’s at because she cannot be trusted! If You took her into your home to help her she would rob you while your gone!
Thank You.. No lies. Just complete raw sincerity from my heart. I lost a case completely unrelated to drugs. I nearly saught drugs as a selfish way of self medicating to treat the pain. I am currently in rehab now and look forward to seeing my children on a daily basis again after I graduate. My children are currently with my parents so I suppose I didn't completely loose in this instance.
@@kristenhammett8457 any way to get a hold of you? Wishing you the best and hope you are doing well.
I feel for her. I am a mother and I could not imagine being without my baby. I am sorry she is going through that. I will be at the same spot if someone takes away my baby.
She’s so smart and beautiful. Baby girl! You are able to get out of this.
theres a reason why the child was given custody to the man. that is very rare so its obvious they took the child away because she was using drugs during their marriage. hope she cleans up so she can at least see her kids. or she can crash with me, shes hot!
Some of the mothers don’t care at all about their children. My husbands mom was a druggie and probably still is. Never calls him, not even for his birthday. Actually for his birthday she messaged him on Facebook asking for money. She’s never met our 2nd child. She never calls, never txt, but she’s around and has his number, and she’ll call and txt his brother. She was an attractive lady before drugs ruined her life. But don’t fall for these innocent, attractive ones. They don’t care at all. Life is all about “me me me”. She’s never even tried.
Some women even kill their babies in the name of abortion. Hard to believe any mother would do that...
@@jjgems5909 I belive you 👍🏼I know this kind of people 💔
For a court to take children away from a woman, the woman must have some significant issues.
The upper body tatoo tells you all you need to know. What responsible mother of two and mortgage broker would loose their kids; at the very least she would get joint custody if she is all she says she is. Some people look and sound intelligent and well put together; but are messed up inside.
She is unbelievably stunning and how shes in that situation is cruel shes so beautiful. I'd try and help and save her but if she wanted saving she would already of been. Hope she finds her way 🙏These beautiful women should never be on the streets nor should any women and man. We are losing to many to drugs and pain
This bitch is a fuqn trainwreck bro. You try to play captain save a ho with a chick like her and she will absolutely ruin your entire life. Mark my words.
@@jrhamilton4448 I bet you any money it was a man that led her to madness
@@Grumpygutz No there's where you're wrong. She likely invited the wrong types of men into her life and continued to kick the nice guys in the balls and bang the bad boys. A decent man would have treated her decently but that's absolutely not what she chose and it's blatantly obvious.
@@jrhamilton4448 You have a point its like attracting the bad and ended up in a bad place when it could of been avoided. However not always is it the case
@@Grumpygutz Correct it isn't always but from my own personal experience it sure seems to be predominantly how these situations happen, at least in the area where I grew up.
The same thing happened to me girl, docs put me on pain pills and benzos, I lost my kids too. They finally just came back into my life 11 years later. I've been clean for 5 years now. You can fix you're life!! I lived on the street, slept under bridges for almost a year. It is possible!! I Love you woman, you got this 💪💪💪
Thank you for sharing your story! Family court destroys lives. The pain and PTSD is unimaginable unless you've experienced it firsthand. I hope you get help/relief/justice/restoration.
I'll bet you also think guns kill people.
@@SomeDumUsrName my brother was murdered. Guns don't kill people. People do.
@@AbolishFamilyCourt Apologies. So sorry for your loss.
Thank You for being one of the few comments on here privey to what was really happening in my life. The outpour of ignorant comments on here is laughable. I lost a custody battle completely unrelated to drugs.. I only suaght drugs as a means to self medicate from the pain of loosing my battle with the state. The amount of lies and fowl play in my case was it measurable.
@@kristenhammett8457
Homelessness is not as big problem in conservative cities, but there is an explanation for it. The main reason for homelessness is fentanyl, and other drugs addiction believe it or not. If you do not believe me, you can find Michael Shellenberger's interviews here on UA-cam. Liberal cities have laws that attract homeless because addicts can support their addiction there more easily. The main one is you are allowed to steal from stores for up to $950 in Cali, and no one will bother you, police will not even come even if they had an officer available. In my town the law says you can steal up to $500 worth of items, and that nothing, so there are no as many homeless like in Cali but we have almost as good camping weather as southern Cali. I go to Texas, and they do not have such law that you can just steal from stores as you wish, so their addicts migrates to the west coast where they can simply support their addiction. Stealing from stores, they call it boosting.
Yes, I have seen many videos of people walking into the store, loading up their bags and walking out with a security guard standing right there. Democrat states and easy on crime.
@gamingthunder blue states have such laws and politics in general that attracts street homeless and people who are not homeless but flirt with drugs.
Gavin Newsome is a joke.
I've dealt with this in my family,it comes down to the person realizing that it comes from within,to change. It's the choices we make and the paths we want to head down. I hope this young lady chooses the right path for her and her family.
Absolutely as a former addict with 5 years clean I can attest what u say is true ! Nobody chooses to become an addict but once your addict you can choose to get clean . ! It’s hard but if I can do it so can anyone else !
@@Lalalovee_1989 Awesome, stay strong life is beautiful clean. Encourage someone that is struggling. Best regards
As a mortgage broker she probably contributed to several people becoming homeless, and now she's homeless. It's like poetry.
YES! As a mortgage broker I probably contributed to people becoming homeless..If this generalizing is not pure stupidity at its finest then the next 50 comments about my tattoos and my hair are a representation of an even bigger platform of idiots. The mental giants on here are fluent!
How does a mortgage broker contribute to homelessness?
Bless her soul..You can see the pain in her eyes, She's a good person inside
Yeah, she’s great isn’t she? I wonder how those affected by her line of work feel about her, dealing in stolen goods is such an honest way to make a living….
@@Jimmythefish577 as long as there are enough good upstanding people like you in this world we should all be alright.👍
Standing up for good and right whenever possible is the right thing always.
I just wonder... what is it about this ladies story that gets you firmly against her as a person?
I'm just wondering. 🤔
As a former addict, I hate hearing people say there's no help, there's lots of help problem is they don't want to get better if your whole life is evolved around drugs and people who use that's all you know, when I was using I knew where to get it if that person doesn't have I go to the next, now that I'm clean and sober I wouldn't know where to go to get high if you ask me, but I can tell you where there an AA meeting or NA meeting or what type of help is available
Facts. A lot of people who lack lived experience would never understand this. They will keep saying “we need more more more more services”
Such a gorgeous intelligent woman,hope she turns her life around asap.Best of luck you can do it.

You can tell immediately that she has had a good upbringing, is smart and still has morals and empathy, things most street people lost ages ago.
She looks good for her age which is non existant in that scene, she probably looks as young as many in their late 20s.
U like her don’t you
She needs to get clean and out of there NOW. In one year she'll be gone for good
@@macfou144 I do
Yea its the time now though
@@macfou144 😂😂
I love how all these supportive comments are based on what she looks like 🤣
I know these types well. I do a lot of work with people like this in Kensington Philadelphia. She lost custody for a good reason most likely. If this was a man everyone would think immediately it was his fault and he was a "loser". When it is a beautiful woman, we think she must be a victim. Men especially will feel like they need to be her white knight. This woman likely gets nice guys wanting to help her out all the time with an intention of it leading to "romance". Seen it 1000 times and those guys always get hustled and burnt. This is how a woman like her gets by. She will play the victim and blame her drug addiction on everyone else. In this case she blames it on the loss of a custody battle. The key is she said, "I won and then lost". She most likely had a bad addiction and wasn't caring for the child properly. Believe me the state and justice system will do everything in their power to assure the woman gets custody rights. In a man's case he can be a great man but still lose custody rights. Sad fact about our system. She is where is wants to be and has no one to blame but herself. When she admits this then recovery can begin.
Fact's for dam sure! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 . When my ex wife and I divorced, and now mind you I live in a Commonwealth state. And Commonwealth means the Commonwealth of the the woman. I did the impossible. After 6 year's of court with and her parents. I finally got custody of my 3 kid's. And 140k later. She was a drug addict,bad. The court's didn't want to believe it. I was the piece of shit, had and still have my trucking business ETC, house , car's, bills payed, ETC. She was so good at manipulation it was FUCKING funny how good she was. I finally got my kids away from her and her crazy parents. Well, she passed from a major, major drug OD last year!
I had exactly the same feeling… women really have to behave badly to lose child custody
Absolutely nailed it!
Facts ☝️
Sad, but probably true. Addicts are liars and manipulators. Funny how being attractive can elicit such sympathy.
Mother's don't just lose custody battles in the US. She did something that precipitated all this. You also don't just magically make the connections she's talking about in how she makes money.
@Candice Williams ok trumptard
She seems like a smart, pretty lady. Where do you see yourself in 3 months? "I see myself sober and out of this nightmare."
I hope that happens for her.
Come on girl get your life back on track. You can do it.
What an intelligent, beautiful woman. It's a travesty, she's taken this path. Hopefully, she will get her life back, to some normality.
Asap 🤞🤞🤞
I agree 💯 percent a travesty it certainly is , makes me 😞
Intelligent and choosing the path she's chosen are incompatible.
She will as long as drugs don’t get in her way .. she will …
She is using a very strong drug it can kill her ..
I don’t want her to get so hooked on drugs to the point that she will sell her body to get drugs it happens!!
she seems all there and very nice. she could easily rebound from her situation if she can get her substance abuse under control. i wish her the best.
i get the feeling that she omitted a lot of details for one reason or another. the saddest part is that her children are with family and she chose to destroy herself. people are not a product of their environments but rather the choices they make. her laughing when answering questions says a lot too. really sad that her children lost their mother.
That laughing could be due to the shame, embarrassment or nervousness she feels. We are all wired a little different and react different to everything.
Nobody chooses to be homeless... Nobody. A person's environment plays a larger role in their life than you will ever admit, and I'm glad you have the kind of life that will, hopefully, never understand that.
"people are not a product of their environments but rather the choices they make"
Let's take a step back and look at this for a moment, let's walk through your idea and see how that works because I think there's something rather important being said.
I don't know if you drive, but let's say you or someone is driving a car. You're driving where you live, your neighborhood, say on the the way to go maybe get some lunch.
You come to an intersection and the light is yellow. Now, most people would say you're faced with your first choice. Do you speed up and go through? Or do you slow down and come to a stop?
Now, you might say that it comes down to the kind of person you are. A risk taker might speed up and go through while someone who thinks of themselves as more cautious would likely stop.
These kinds of choices present themselves all the time, right?
But here's the part that people don't pay attention to.
If there was no traffic light there, no intersection, would you have a reason to think about stopping in the middle of the street?
Your choice is secondary to the larger choice that's already been made for you.
Your path from your house to Arby's is already created for you. The places to go eat are offered to you. You choose what has been chosen for you. What your environment provides you, what it offers you.
When your choices are exceptionally limited; and there neighborhoods and areas that have extremely limited choices to be made, you may make daily decisions, but to what end?
Survival often requires rescue. Sometimes that is professional help like the Coast Guard getting you off a raft in the middle of the ocean. Sometimes rescue is a lucky discovery like food or shelter that helps you just survive another night on the side of a mountain.
Sometimes it's a hand and plan to get you out of the street and into a place where you can make better decisions simply because they are available to be made.
When the system that provides you your choices that you make fails, when it breaks down, when that red light you stopped at malfunctions and remains red, what do you do? How long do you sit there obediently waiting for that light to change? Driving through is a crime, regardless of whether you get caught, right? Sometimes the only choices an environment provides are bad ones, and the result can lead to bad consequences.
Ultimately, the world sets the paths and destinations before you, in nearly every way.
It's your point of origin that usually equips you for what lies ahead.
@@johnswanger8474 I see where you are trying to go. everyone feels bad for her because she is addicted to fentanyl and is homeless because people aren’t paying attention to the actual facts and environment.
What environment caused her to be a successful mortgage broker? What environment caused the state to interfere in her perfectly good life and cause a struggle over her being able to keep her kids? What environment caused a successful woman to lose custody of her kids? To a family member no less? What environment causes a person who says that she only drank to suddenly give up on life and start coping with fentanyl after losing a 4 year custody case with the state as she stated? What environment causes everyone to feel sorry for her and not hold her accountable for any decisions she has made since becoming an adult? What environment ceases to feel for the children that have lost a mother because of her actions or inactions? What did the children do to lose a mother and well seemingly a father since she never mentioned their father(s)? Lastly, what if this was a man? How would y’all react to the story if it were a man? Would y’all be pissing all over a man who has the same narrative for not being a man and taking responsibility for his duties as a man and a father and a husband? Women get a pass for every misstep and if someone dares call it what it is based off of what the woman says then that person is mean or a bully or unsympathetic or uncaring or has lived a privileged life without struggle?
There is way more to the story than she has shared that we will never know. It blows my mind that society has fallen so far from where it was when I was growing up in the 90’s. My life has not been easy or of luxury. I have had real struggles that I am not going to share to validate my thought process and I shouldn’t have to. Every decision we make is of our own accord. Very few people have a built in excuse for why they do what they do. Veterans for example “are held in high esteem” by society right? But then when they struggle after they get home and assimilate back into society and get into trouble every pisses on them? Where is the compassion like this lady is getting? They made the choice to serve and protect the American way of life but get very little real help and they are men. Men have different standards no matter the aptitude level. Let’s cut the nonsense and call it what it is. She made bad decisions and failed to correct them and despite her place of success as a mortgage broker she failed as a parent and then chose to do drugs to cope and is now homeless.
Does she deserve compassion as a human being? Sure. But does she get a free pass for her decisions? Most of y’all are doing exactly that. Are these the lessons you teach your kids? That there shouldn’t be consequences for their choices?
Brains are complex and people adapt to environments to get through, these manifest as habits and hidden decisions that become invisible… a shame
if we can reduce the struggle to exist in this world we would reduce those suffering from stress. it's shocking how many people assume that life stays perfect for everyone and when it cost so much to exist, many choose to be homefree rather then burdened by perpetual debt. If Kristin reads this, I love your ink. Clean and sober comes when basic needs are met and people are working toward goals they feel spiritually aligned with. Babble On isn't working for many. Some of the warriors choose to live among the poorest, to protect them and to inspire them for another day. You have a warrior spirit, just not yet the training.
I totally agree with everything you said...except the “ink”. I find it repugnant
@@bobbeezel2593 art is applauded by some and burned by others....I'm glad we live in a world where your free will choice is honored. I hope one day we extend that to everyone.
@FREE WILL 💜💜💜
I’m so sorry for this lady , i really wish you peace and sobriety .
Such a beautiful soul.
Bless you.
Stay safe.
"One day at a time."
She's model beautiful and has time to change. I hope she finds herself before she loses her looks; or worse...HER LIFE. Fentanyl is beyond lethal
Getting clean is hard but I think the hardest part is trying to get clean when that door to new opportunities is still closed. It’s all about timing, you have to get clean when that little door opens but most people don’t see it they just pass on by and never line those moments up. I hope that makes sense. My clean date is 2/14/20
I hope she gets clean while she still has her health.
Obviously a very intelligent woman who has been caught by circumstance and addiction. It would be awesome to hear she's turned things around. The support and love from your family is everything when you hit rock bottom.
Very sad situation and great interview. As is a beautiful woman. I really sucks that she is so sick. I hope she can get the help she needs.
"spiritually im a different person so it might be leading me in a different direction" such and honest answer
That little interview was the smallest little snipet of the way someone wanted to be seen as and everyone thinks they know this lady. You don't, trust me you have know idea what she's like, she might be the craziest meanest lady out there. You seen what she wanted you to see and I have a feeling it's not even close to reality.
Exactly
Don’t ruin my fantasy please
One thing I know from 5 decades on this planet a con will always con. She’s a con if I ever seen one. Spinning a story to be the victim is clue number 1. Wasn’t her fault she got addicted. It was this and that and that.
@@One-Crazy-Cat Yup she was using drugs before she lost her kids. It's most likely the reason why she lost them.
This is Kristen . I am trying to get into a rehab today. If anyone has any suggestions or suggestions on how to get an insurance policy that would allow me more viable options I would appreciate it.

Maybe an intervention type thing where you get a new life and be a wife? I'd wife you... 😉 but for reals hope you find your way out of the situation you're in.
Don't lose your faith in humanity based on the majority of calus fools who would convict you by your own confessed mistakes. As if they are the better for any of it.
The world can be a harsh judge and many good people have been tortured and burnt at a stake in worst days then now for far less.
Don't let the good this video is able to do for others be the thing that does you in.
Seriously let the bad comments go or it will crush you.
Right now you have to worry about you.
Keep your head above the water.
You are very brave for stepping forward and asking for help. You do deserve it.
There are a ton of people praying for you right now.
You are in a fight for your life and a lot of traumatic things have happened already.
In order to survive a burning sinking ship you have to keep your wits about you and find a way to keep pushing on.
It may feel like water is in all directions. You might fear the unknown dangers lurking beneath the waves. There's still plenty of sharks around and if you stay where you're at they will get you.
Pray and I mean pray like your life depends on it to find a light to guide you back to shore and don't give up.
You can't worry about things like insurance and costs.
You have to pick the direction you need to and jump off the last bits of debris your clinging to because otherwise your going down with it.
Jump in and keep treading water pray to find the direction you need to go in and do it now.
For what it's worth you know I'm praying for you.
she is great, Heavenly Father please get her out of darkness into your light
Beautiful young lady... Hope you can get back on your feet Kristin, I know how difficult the opiate kick is... Please be safe & Much Love to you from the East Coast....
If this was anyone other than “this type of woman”, most of the people on this thread would be ragging on them and calling them a POS. That being said, I hope she gets her life back on track!
Just like the Sun, this woman can still shine. It's not too late to be an exemplary human being and mother. ❤️
She has a lot of natural beauty
Kristin God bless and keep you....be safe everyone from Scotland.
She's beautiful. I hope she makes it out alive. I was 44 when I got clean
She is beautiful, well spoken, and seems like a genuinely good person. I hope that her vision from 3 months ago of being sober in 3 months has come true and that she is finding a constructive life full of other ways to cope with the pain that she is dealing with.
You must be blind to say that she's beautiful. Do you not see the horrible tattoos she disfigured 80% of her body with?
Sad. She's let her situation get her down and instead of trying to fix it, she resorted to drugs. She's obviously an intelligent girl, but she made some bad decisions. I hope she finds someone that will help her.
She’s beautiful. She could be a model .
She doesn’t look like she uses at all.
Crazy!
I hope she gets out!❤🙏🏼
Always good to see someone lying to themselves and everyone around her.
She is great. Life kicks us all around. She has taken a lot . No one should judge her. They do not have the right. I hope she prospers and this time can be a just footnote in her life.
Well atleast she realizes no body can get her to be sober but ONLY herself!!! That is the most truest thing that could ever be said when it comes to drug addiction
When she said she turned to drugs after loosing the custody battle you should have asked were drugs the reason she lost it in the first place?
of course
Exactly! I could not help but notice the huge outpour of ignorant comments in regard to my custody battle..It was completely unrelated to drugs. I only saught drugs as a selfish means to self medicate from the pain. I am going to an inpatient treatment facility today at 8:45 am
@@kristenhammett8457 That's fantastic, i hope everything works out for you 🙏. Sending love from Ireland 🇮🇪
She contributed to the 2008 financial collapse. Mortage Brokers preyed upon unsuspecting people.
I try not to judge this woman but there are certain things that can be avoided and a lot of times it’s because of our poor decision making skills. Some people never learn, I know of someone whom is an ex drug user and has a daughter. We worry a lot about the kind of men she has around her daughter but she listens to no one and is quick to point the finger. I really hope this lady turns it around not for herself but for her children because they are the ones who really suffer watching their parents go through that. Children are very smart, they observe and learn what’s going on in their family settings, a lot of time the issues don’t manifest themselves until much later in their lives. Don’t ever use drugs period! Just the other day I heard a mother tell her son that he should only experiment with drugs in a safe environment, ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
I hope she can kick the addiction and then get back on track. She needs to stop being involved in crime regardless of it being the ‘go-between’. Perhaps at that point family can offer to help out and/or she will be ready to accept help from them.
Ironic, that a former mortgage broker is homeless. Whatever happened to those people? Are they all homeless as well as jobless now?
Only the drug addicted ones.
Somehow we have to teach women in this country that tattoos do not enhance their beauty. Please do not mark up your beautiful skin like that. How is she going to find a job with skin like that? They should invent an ink that disappears after one year. Let your friends and family help you. Sometimes you need a little help from a friend (Beatles) regardless of your age. She is a beauty even with green hair.
Those tattoos and green hair costs a lot of money, how does she afford that?
She probably had those tattoos before becoming homeless and the green hair is a cheap wig.
It’s good she’s calling this „an adventure.“ Hope and praying she finds balance between her spiritual and everyday life.
beautiful and intelligent. thank you for sharing the story
Hoping for your recovery and happiness soon Kristin.
REACH OUT and seek inpatient help, YOU CAN DO THIS.
Addiction is a disease not a choice, you can be cured!
🙌
Thank you NY nurse
Kristin, If the fentanyl don't kill you, your pride will. It's almost impossible to kick on your own. The hole you dig will keep getting larger and larger until you can't escape.
*Ugggh... It's so sad & frustrating watching people go through this :(
Thank You.. I am going into rehab at 8:45 a.m. this morning.. Thank You for the support
@@kristenhammett8457 fantastic… you’ve made my day thank you so much :)
*always here to support you 💕
Were the drugs the reason you lost custody?!?!
Of course
Sending so much Love, getting clean change a lot in my life , not all but way happier .
Sad 😞 I really hope she gets the help she desperately needs so she can stay safe and live again.
She is drop dead beautiful. Absolutely stunning facial features. Seems like depression has destroyed her life.
Losing kids can be a heartbreaking experience. Clearly she is going through this and needs someone to help her get out of this situation. Hope she gets the help she need.
These are our fellow Americans, absolutely heartbreaking, the potential of this woman is obviously great. God bless her.
The fact she's middling for a fence to earn money for her habit shows she has clear acumen and personality for business, and her having been a mortgage broker is pretty perfect. I hope she's able to get clean and move on with her life to way more positive things, she seems like a genuinely nice lady.
Smart and beautiful woman. The drugs happened to totally unravel her life. It has happened to many people. I really hope she fights to kick the drugs and get on her feet and get to have a relationship with her children.
Somebody help this woman, she doesn't belong on the street, she has so much to offer, this is heartbreaking
She is a drug addict….homelessness is a side effect
I wish i could but i live on the other side of the planet. She just needs a good support base if she really wants to get out of that life. But the mistake she makes is being afraid to ask for help
She needs to help herself.
Exactly, no help for the junkies until they help themselves by stopping with the drug use.
self inflicted wounds, you can't make a junkie stop until they are "ready to quit"...
Another wonderful "mother" who would rather run the streets and get high , than raise her children .
Did you not watch the video she lost custody of her kids
@@theshawdows ok but why....its actually pretty difficult for a mother to lose custody. It didnt sound like it was a divorce situation cuz she said she lived with her boyfriend.
@@theshawdows lost custody because she was already using drugs.
The tattoos were a great idea and not cheap.
I pray this beautiful lady pulls herself back together.
I doubt that girls is homeless or stung out.
What makes u say that
She is absolutely head smart…and intelligent, she really needs to leave that life behind…I pray 🤲 she does the right thing and get back to a life which is best suited for her …good luck my lady , 💕☦️✝️God - Speed♾♾
It's insane to see these people blame anything and anyone but themselves for their own circumstances.
It's crazy how literally anyone can end up in the streets nowadays.
Family court will do that
@@AbolishFamilyCourt they're pure evil.
Something doesn't add up ...lost custody ? Umm, maybe a little less time at the tattoo parlour and a little more time being attentive to responsibilities. Something just doesn't add up ...btw, how's that hair working out ?
Should have asked what taking the drug is like? How does it make her feel and for how long
Thank you for watching. I will with future interviewees.
@@streetdisclosures3566 Someone like you should really be at the forefront of any government initiatives or planned community action groups to help these women/men. You have real knowledge and experience at the coal face with these people and their situations. Have you thought about providing any input?
Notice how she doesn't accept any responsibility she just places blame
I don't think you watched the video.
No. But I noticed how you didn't really watch the video nor listen to what she said.
This is a smart, articulate, beautiful woman with every reason to NOT be in this situation. Mainly the fact that she is a mother. This is one of those occasions where I believe nobody will be able to help her if she isn't willing to help herself. Hopefully she gets her head straight and pulls out of it. 🙏
