Coming Clean
I know some have known about my previous/current living conditions, but to those interested, here's a quick story.
In October of 2013 my boyfriend and I left our apartment due to financial conflicts. We went up to Boston to live with another camgirl, but things didn't turn out so great..so we left after a week and moved back in with my parents.
I wanted to confide in someone about my occupation, so I told my sister what I do. That was a stupid decision on my part because she broke the promise and told my parents about it (who are strong Christian believers.)
I was given an hour discussion about how my job is degrading and how I'm "better then this." I proceeded to tell them I stopped doing so, (of course I didn't.)
Recently, I was implored to go get a job because they are having financial struggles themselves and can't afford to pay for anything. Which, I really don't want to go into it, because they make decent money and should easily be able to support their bills. But hey, not worth my time to talk about that.
Yesterday, my boyfriend and I came clean with his mother about what we've been doing for the past year. Instead of receiving the cold shoulder, she embraced it with open arms. She was ecstatic that we managed to find a way to make money from home that paid better then any minimum wage job ever would. She even encouraged me to go there to work!
My boyfriend and I have also been discussing moving back in with them instead of with my parents. To do that, we had to have a discussion with his father about this as well. Instead of giving the cold shoulder, he went more into the business aspect of the entire thing.
He made an outline of what would have to be done if we moved back in.
He also gave two options.
Go get a regular job as a backup, (just in case this ever failed.)
OR
He would pay for us to go back to school. Community college of course, but he wants us to do something.
Words can't express how appreciative I am of those words. My boyfriends FATHER would pay for his son's girlfriend to attend college, which has been one of my goals for awhile. My own father could careless about me going back to school. Wouldn't help at all. As long as he gets his 400 a month, that's all he cares about.
I cried tears of happiness today. Not sadness, not stress, just straight up, "holy shit they really fucking care".
I'm sorry this is all jumbled up but I just had to vent about this situation.

Re: Coming Clean
Congrats! And definitely let his father help with schooling (and make sure your bf does as well!)

Re: Coming Clean
That sounds amazing!! Who would have guessed parents like that exist!?!
I bet there are heaps of options you could do at community college too - great opportunity and they sound genuine in wanting what is best for both of you. :)

Re: Coming Clean
It was a big relief to get it off of our chests.
We didn't think it would have went THAT well.

Re: Coming Clean
I think it's really good that you have found a possible solution to your home issues. It's hard to find supportive people and your BFs parents are doing a great job. It sounds like a great compromise to get a job or schooling if you continue to cam under their roof. Honestly, it isn't a bad idea either. I'm not sure how long term camming is going to be for you, but you could always take general education courses or business related courses (I actually listen to some of my BF's business management lectures that I find revelant to my online work). If you had a part time job, that would be garunteed money each week. So if you had a crap week on cam you know you at least have something. Either way, if you ever choose vanilla work, you would have something filling up your "unemployed" gap.
I really hope everything works out for you!
