Thank you. I guess I come from a family that is very very uptight. It is is hard for them to be accepting of anything like this. They have heard enough hints to be concerned due to certain people. I feel bad that I have let them down and I feel truly ashamed I wrecked their pride. I'm not sure where to go from here. I feel so upset and empty my family now has to "pretend" that everything is fine during future holidays. I am so sad..

yes, I panicked a bit.. until I remembered that..  
   
 I am a grown ass adult..  
 What I do as an adult is MY business  
 They really have not a clue as to what I do, just am image in their head.  
 Assuming that the rest of your life is together. I would remind them that you are not on drugs or  
 under the influence, that you made a conscious decision to do what you do. That you are not being forced.. Your morals may not be their morals. But it does not make you a bad person. ( we all have skeletons in our closet..  
   
 If they are so darn concerned.. I would suggest as I did that they step up and pay my bills!  
 Are they concerned or is it Judgment?  
   
 I would also remind them that the Ex is obviously vindictive..  
   
 Good Luck. It will be ok.. Those that love you will love you as you are and accept you..........  
   
 keep us posted and feel free to reach out to me if you need to chat or vent

An ex screwed my life up and called all of my family right now to let them know what I do as a job. Which I should have expected of course. They have been calling me with the worst of stories and heading my direction of town. Has this happened to any other ladies? I don't want to hear from any men's advice. I am not in Provider's only. I'm just so upset and lost. Thank you.

Immediately upon hearing that ALL of your family was called by your ex to tell them you are a hooker, your first reaction was to come on the national GD board? Ok...

And your family's initial reaction is to throw the "worst of stories" back in your face? Not shock? Not "are you ok"? Hmmmm...

And your family took as gospel what your ex had to tell them from jump street?

"Ismell" something too, just not sure if it's turkey

Long story I won't discuss. They tried to drive to see me and discuss it immediately. They found out I danced from another person who followed my car. They thought this was a new low for me. I was hoping to possibly hear advice from providers.

That was where the mistake happened.

I understand their concern if you are being trafficked, but if this is your choice you have to live with it. Yes, it can be embarrassing for your loved ones to find out, but they will get over it. You have to be more thoughtful and confident with your decisions if you can truly manage to think independent of other's opinions. A tough cookie to swallow, but they will get over it. It's great they are concerned but reassure them that you know the safe ways to play and this is your decision. Obviously you got into the hobby out of need....either sexual or financial. Whatever made you do it is the guns you need to stick to. If they can't accept it, you should find supportive friends who can help get you through. If you like what you do, don't shy away from it.....embrace it! And if they really love you, they will support your decision to continue or quit.
