Ok, at first glance it may seem that this should be in the newbie forum, however, I have been dancing for over a year now at a great club that I do well at. What I have been having trouble with is that I am older- I started dancing at 28- I have a husband, 2 children and I am italian- very motherly- try to help everyone- the problem is that i look around and the people that I have tried to mentor the most-as an older more experienced person are the people that are the first to really hurt you- for example one girl had an abusive boyfriend, I gave her a place to stay fed her took care of her and she turned around and started sleeping with one of my regulars, and this is not the first time this has happened, and i know that on one hand I should not care about people and there problems, drug addictions, but I cant help it- what i dont get and I truly don't mean to sound stereotypical but is this just the way it is with dancers, I have never been burned outside of dancing as I have in this profession and how do you turn off your feelings- I feel that I am at such a cross road and I really just need some advice. my coworkers, managers, etc.. look at me as mother hen- I have had girls that I dont like sick as a dog in the bathroom, I cant walk away from them, I would rather not make money and hold their hair, make sure that they get home safe- I am beginning to feel that i feel to much to be a dancer.
