I used to be a prostitute AMA

[AMAnamechange28]

Name changed for this obviously. AMA

OP. You are on the right path x

Every blessing OP. You have come through so much. You deserve to have close relationships with people who see all of you, accept and love you. I hope you feel proud of all you have achieved despite some truly awful abuse. I hope one day you are free from the psychological impact of this and the abuse. I hope you get to see you as the people reading this you: a woman of character, intelligence and strength.

I'm so glad you posted this. I have found great help and reassurance over the years when I have shared things on here or other web sites. It gives us such reassurance that so many people are encouraging and supportive.
Do please take this reaction to your openness as an opportunity to perhaps seek out more help for phycological damage this and the child abuse you suffered has done to you. Good luck with the future. xx

Thank you for sharing all this. You sound amazing and have been through so much. Take care of yourself.

It is not possible to have good, warm relationships without empathy. So abandoning porn use and sex-buying is not only in women’s and children’s best interests, but in men’s too.
Powerful comment from nordicmodelnow.org/ (thanks for link joystir59) . I want to shout it from the rooftops after reading this. Thanks OP.

Best wishes OP X

All good wishes OP . I hope your thread has helped. It certainly does show the warmth and care out there for you and others in that situation.

You have moved on so much, and I wish you strength for your emotional/psychological wounds and recovery.

Others have tried to makw you feel less than,but it doesnt mean you are. You are worth far more than those who did this to you.

Can you access crisis again? Use Samaritans? Found any charities locally to support? Just ideas,no expectation of a reply, and its good to see you expresed your own limit on the thread. Good for you!

First step is being and feeling safe in every way. You have done so well

I'm a little bit in awe of you OP. To have survived all that has been thrown at you, and somehow keep it your education going and get such a good job. You're incredible, and you should be very, very proud of yourself.

what a raw yet beautiful thread you started for us op.so much insight.so much delicate and vunerable detail.thankyou.
you are on the right path.any path out of and away from that is ur right path ok.
i know last night and possibly for a few days from sharing you might feel even more exposed and raw.a little bit vulnerable which might be even harder for you to handle.so just take care of yourself for the rest of that time.its normal to feel like you do right now.but noone has judged you or think anything other than "wow what a lady" i myself want to wrap you up and never let you go until you feel how loved and aesome you are!
youve come so far.
you can only shine from here.

A Hug and from me.

And everyone feels like an Imposter - just read Michelle Obama's biography.

Good luck for the future.

What is the Nordic Model and why do you support that?

All the best op, I hope you have a long and happy life and can put the trauma in the past.

Thanks - interesting

All the best op, you are one hell of a woman.

Big hugs and kisses OP

I didn’t enjoy reading your thread, OP, but I’m very grateful to you for posting it- it can’t have been easy to revisit that time. I’m so pleased you’re in a better place now. You deserve to be happy- I hope you will be.

How much truth is there in the following lyrics from "Lovely ladies" (Les Miserables)?

Just as well they never see
The hate that's in your head
Don't they know they're making love
To one already dead!

Thank you OP - you are amazing xxxx

Best of luck OP. You have shown huge courage and bravery and I have nothing but admiration for you in turning your life around. I hope you get the wonderful relationship you deserve.
There are good people out there, kind, decent men do exist. X

You're very inspiring OP. Thank you

Hope you find healing, OP.
