i was fortunate to grow up around really open minded friends. however, they were a bit loose lipped--one of them accidentally told my mom. she knew about it for years before i finally told her. she was always worried and shit, apparently, and felt really guilty because she moved across the country when i was 18 and had nowhere to go, really. so yeah, she's basically the reason i started i guess.
but then we finally had that long conversation about it, and what really happens (as far as i'm involved, anyway), and now she's my cheerleader. apparently, the way clubs work now are way different than when they were my age. now she wishes she could do it! i just made sure she understood that nothing bad was happening to me, that i am far more in control of my environment here than any other job, and that i am treated well, and have developed into a very strong person because of it. i don't take bullshit off of anyone, and that's what she always wanted for me, so it works out, lol. and my dad (well, stepdad but he's been around longer than my real dad) feels the same way.
i think i'm kinda lucky.

I feel bad for the girls struggling to hide it, though. Definitely been there
