Coping! How would you if someone you knew..?

[Sappho 1247]

A friend of mine, years ago, decided to become a stripper. After less than a year she moved towards being an SP. At the time I didn't understand why. I had once thought that everyone did such things for financial reasons. She did it because she loved doing so. She simply enjoyed the attention and had always liked to please, in every aspect of her life. So I figured that if she was happy doing so then who was I to judge?

My parents found out what I was doing (not by me) about 2-3 years into it.. my brothers as well.

 

My mom really dislikes what I do but loves me never-the-less.. my dad has a better handle on it than my mom and ''talks her down'' when she over-reacts.

 

I have discovered that rather than being concerned about my safety she starts in on me whenever she has had to talk to some friends about her kids.. and is stuck for conversation on the one-upmanship that occurs when parents talk about their kids successes.

 

I've told her that she can say whatever she wants.. and that she can say I'm in healthcare still (sort of am wouldn't you say?) or tell the truth.

 

With one of my aunts who she told.. the response was. Yup a lot of girls put themselves through med school doing that. I laughed.. I know she was expecting exclamations of sympathy.

 

I love my mom and if I were one.. I would rather my daughter just be happy than worry about what it is she does.. for the most part she is!

 

oh.. and when I told her I was going to do porn 3 or so years ago .. she put my pictures away and stopped talking to me for a day or so.. she got over it.

 

If my niece who's 16 turns 18 and wants to do what I do.. I'd mentor her. She knows what I do..

Interesting thread I just had to my 2 cents worth in.

 

If it were a loved one, say a sister or neice .......that's a hard one I am sure I would be shocked, suprised, certainly concerned but after all if they are adults it is their life to lead.

 

I have another twist.

 

What if when you call and sp to book an appointment an you reconize her what do you do..............?

 

What if it is someone you hate you know they type someone you would love to cause trouble in her personal life....what do you do?

To cope I would buy them weapons! I would not worry about them as much as I would worry about other people. People outside of this community are not as enlightened or trustworthy. I would be worried about their safety from others more than anything.

What if....I don't think I would be hypocritical....but rather understanding and supportive. Diploma on the wall doesn't make the person.
