My mother and I have never gotten along. She’s very serious, overachiever, type A and I’ve always clashed with people like that. She is also pretty self righteous about things like pride, and work ethic, and she just isn’t my type of person. I feel bad because I’m her only child and I really wish she had a daughter she could actually enjoy.
My mom wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer, because that’s what her friends’ kids were doing, but I rebelled pretty hard against school. I left home the day I turned 18 and got by through modeling, working at clubs with a fake ID, and dating rich men. She always said I would understand her disappointment when I had daughters, but I have two and I can’t imagine being ashamed of something so petty.
I met my husband when I was working as a yacht girl. That kind of just means I was paid by rich men to party on their boats and keep the guests entertained. I did date some of those men and they were very generous. My mom views that as prostitution. I don’t know if I agree but I 100% think prostitution should be legalized so I don’t really care. I met my husband. He scandalized his entire family by marrying one of those girls and we’ve been very happy for eighteen years. I do have an easy life and I’m not going to lie and say it has nothing to do with looks, but they were my looks to do whatever i want with.
My mom doesn’t like my husband. She thinks we both partied too much and she was hoping I’d grow up and do something “respectable” one day. She hates that he enables me to have the life she didn’t want me to have. Well I met her new husband the other day. He works in finance, a nice enough guy, but very straitlaced. He asked how I met my husband and I told him the true story.
My mother was furious and I did know she would want me to lie or leave some details out,but it’s my story to tell and I’m not ashamed of my life. My husband thinks I should have lied and said it was full on prostitution, but he’s kind of an a**. My mom actually cried after dinner so Am I A Jerk?
