He's right about feeling pain for not re-connecting with your family. People get older and die and it will haunt you. I'm glad that i re-connected with my dad for the last 15 years of his life. He got me in the Union and we actually worked and lived together. It was the best time of my life. I found out my dad was a great guy and I really enjoyed my time with him. He was always on my side. I miss those days, life was a lot simpler.
@@BRIANDER100 My mom and dad got divorced , it was crazy at that time so for years i didn't really see him that much. I had this opinion that my dad was crazy when he drank (which may have been true to an extent) but my mom definitly could push his buttons. So fast forward, when i became 18 i used to go over to his house all the time and became more acquainted with him without my mom's interference, I discovered that he was a cool guy and we got along great. I miss him. Always gave me great advice and was always there when i needed him. He was a bricklayer and when he got me into the trade we worked together, this was back in 1986. He used to sing Dean Martin songs while he worked. It was classic.
I agree with Dom. Me and my parents were always close but when my dad passed in 2010 when I was 20 it hurt so bad. I was never the same. Flew into drug addiction. Would give anything for 10 more mins with him. No matter if you’re estranged or what that’s still your father. Or mother. You’ll feel it as he said. Obviously not all situations apply. But yeah.
A lot of people won’t get this or understand this, this is a deep and phenomenal video bro, I was a child who went through it and as I became an adult the cycle continue of running the street and I did it to my daughter who is 9 today, I speak to her as much as possible and try to fix our relationship in anyway I can because once your gone your gone. And I can’t talk to my father anymore so anyway Godbless love from Trenton nj
I know ive said it before BUT that was one of the best clips so far.... Youve got to admire his honesty... Such a shame he isnt around to see how much he's appreciated and how many people love the film of his life and especially these gems that keep coming.... So... PLEASE... Keep em coming 😊
Well your admiring the wrong person if honesty is what you admire because I’m telling you he’s full of it. So one of the reasons he took off was because he was tired of Nino giving him peanuts while he was collecting up to a quarter million for Nino every few months and he never lived in no big mansion in Westlake. He did a few scores with a couple of his buddies but I guarantee he drank and smoked it all up fast as he got it. So if he was making all this big money then wtf would he constantly badger Nino about a raise? Fuck keep Nino happy and handle his business while he’s away and then hit all these scores he says he was hitting and eventually Nino would’ve had to propose him for membership and he’d probably have taken Ninos spot when Nino went away or died because he would’ve had 100% of Nino’s trust by then. And he says he was an acting captain for Nino, and that’s completely false. He was an errand boy that would run to Nino and blabber about what the demeo crew was up to and I’m sure he had a lot to blabber about. I believe he was jealous of most the crew members especially Chris Rosenberg because of his little man complex and how much better off he was financially than Dominick. So when Dominick gets wind of the Cuban crisis and figures out it was Chris that setup the Cubans he immediately rats him out to Paz who is with the Cubans then runs to Nino and gets Nino and everyone scared that the cubans are about to start dropping Gambino soldiers unless Chris is taken care of and that’s what happens. They should’ve also been pissed that Dominick ratted out people in the same crew or associated with the same crime family to some cubans. Then when Danny Grillo who was obviously a sick gambler was into Roy and Nino for a lot of money Dominick tells Nino that he’s off the rails and if he’s stopped by a cop for blowing a stop sign he’s liable to start singing. He knew by doing so he just sealed Danny’s fate but then gets mad when Chris Rosenberg makes a smart remark about you don’t have to worry about seeing Danny anymore! Well he already knew he was done for but yet what he got Danny killed for Dominick’s actions later on was just as bad or worse & he ratted. And I’m pretty sure Dominick lied about the kid Roy shot at the bar that supposedly called him an mf’er because you mean to tell me nobody knew who the hell this kid was? And Roy used to throw victims in a crew members relatives garbage truck to be hauled to the fountain avenue dump. I doubt roy could pop some kid and just drive up on the mountain of trash at the landfill and throw the kid out the car. And obviously the bartender knew the boy because she told roy he called roy a m’ fer. But yet he never was identified. Also all the people that sympathize for Dominick and think Nino held him at gunpoint to start running with the mafia, is about a load of bs too. Was Nino opinionated and strict on Dominick? I think for sure he was but Dominick even says himself that after watching the godfather he walked out the theater and told Denise, I think it’s time we go home to Brooklyn! So if a damn mobster movie was what influenced him to move back with uncle nino then I think it’s safe to say he was all game for getting pulled into that life. If anything Nino was trying to get him to quit drinking drugging and cheating and take more responsibility and then Nino may have rewarded him with a raise but he was an embarrassment for Nino because of his hard partying and when times got tough look what he did, first fled to California and left Nino to clean up the mess he left then when he gets grabbed by the feds he sings on uncle Nino to get a free pass from prison. And if Nino didn’t care for Dominick he wouldn’t have been so adamant about not hanging out with Roy’s crew because he knew they were trouble. Then there’s the story that nicki barnes lieutenants tells him that the daygo’s have a hit out for you, you need some help? And Dominick says no this is an Italian thing! What? Seriously? If you knew the mob has a hit out on you then you don’t know who may take you out, any number of the mob related Italians could try to kill you. I think anyone would’ve said yes man can you and your boys give me a hand if shit hits the fan? Even if I knew I was gonna rat I’d still ask for help until I was out of the prison but we know that’s bs anyways. Whoever leaked that to another race would get merked their damn self especially with allowing Dominick to turn government witness and put people away. They wouldn’t have tipped off another race that just so happened to know Dominick and warn him 🤨. I mean you people that take everything he says as gospel aren’t the smartest tools in the shed, about like Dominick!
That life gives one a sense of power. The power the money brings on the drugs the alcohol and the womanizing . It’s an evil and very sad outcome of the life. Rip Dom
A few hours ago I had this conversation with my mother that is 81 y.o and we had a good and bad relationship always,my pop passed away young , like 23 years ago but even with him I was close, though I had my issues with drugs and gangster life,we were always close!! Now I just got to see my daughter again after 17 years because I divorced with my ex,and she promised me that I would never see my child again,but god knows better and he allowed me to have a massive heart attack,so my daughter came to see me .. she's 27 y.o and not really a child,but I know that she doesn't care for me because I see it from the way she conducts herself with me!!! And I made more than enough tries to get to see and know my daughter back in time but the child was so brainwashed from the ex,that she never let that happen!!! She had told me that if we separate I will never see my daughter again!! And she managed to do it!! And My daughter has not even called me dad or father or Oldman or something...the only reason she is coming to see me once every two months,is not to loose InTouch with me and just for money!! So this episode touched me alot
I feel you mate, I didn’t see my sister for 20 years, she passed away so I never saw her, so many unanswered questions, we was very close as kids. All the best to you mate
when his powerful mafia uncle Nino wouldn't give him the 'push'/get his doo wop group out of their shitty contract and with a better label & and Nino denied him saying "music business is full fags and drug addicts" or whatever he said, it sent his life on a path he knew would end up in the mafia helping his uncle & either dying or ending up in jail. was so depressed over it, like anyone would be, he signed up for Vietnam to escape the neighborhood and the family. in the end he had to cooperate to save himself because the shit isn't worth sacrificing yourself. he truly loved his uncle of course who probably loved Dom as much as anyone in the world at one point life is just hard we're all victims of fate Nino had plans for Dom, compare it to any mafia film or Sopranos with Tony & Christopher. it's a lot easier to get made if you have family in the life, they want to bring you in/surround themselves with blood relatives if possible because you can't trust anyone else
Basicaly Nino kicked Dominick's father out of his own son life's because he didn't want to join the family and be a mobster. Dominick's birth name is Dominick Santamaria. I hope he reunited with his kids before he passed
Mis condolencias a su flia. Dom terminó haciendo lo mismo que su padre, no porque el lo quería, sino por la mala vida que tuvo. Su corazón era bueno, pero su vida de criminal lo afecto y tuvo que entrar en las adicciones. Rip dom. Descansa en paz.
That’s not appropriate guy, people all have their difficulties that they suffer from. Dominick went through a lot of stuff. In the end he did what he could to mend his relationship with his family. Don’t be so fast to shed judgment pal.
I bed he did nothing wrong to them, he did more harm to himself. But the family hold resentments about money of all things and feel abandoned - the wives and mothers make it double as hard to reconnect with the kids, I know from bitter experience and many men I know, its usually about money at the end of the day, the kids may think money equals love cos the mums go on about it so much, I understand they need it to feed the kids and pay bills
In Mafia Tapes it sounded quite complicated between him and Carmarie around the time he passed. Maybe Ross covered it in more detail that we’ll see at some point.
@@darrensinnott2197 you want the first? Comment first and I'll delete my comment..I just want to see him lose and hear his excuse about it being the weekend blah blah
Thank ross Brodar for giving you a chance by dropping this on the weekend. When this dropped, I couldn’t hit first because I was bathing. Something you know nothing about.
