What's up with that?

I've been a phone actress for the past 5 years now. That's right, I'm a phone ho. I'm not ashamed of this at all. It pays the bills and supports my family. Before I did this I was on welfare and lived in a very rundown place. It was enough to get me out of the situation I was in. Therefore I take a lot of pride in what I do.

I can't stand it when people look at me differently because of my occupation. They assume I'm a slut or I have no self respect because I talk shit on the phone for a living. The irony is that most of the people who talk shit are females that lay on their backs for a different dude every other day and get nothing out of it except a wet ass and a bad reputation. I have even gotten a few negative comments from men. One time this asshole I used to kick it with got one of his little punk ass homeboys to call my house at 4 in the morning to say, "Hey. My dick hard. Talk to me so I can bust this nut." Friends of my ex have told me, "You know your job pisses him (my baby's father) off. Why can't you just work at a store or something instead of talking to guys on the phone all night? You are a mom. Do something else."

Here's the deal people. There is a stigma associated with people with jobs like mine. I think the fact that I'm a single mom makes it even more intense. Why is it that people think you are a whore with no morals if you work in the sex industry?
