Since So Many Have Asked Me
I have been asked now, more times than I can count so I think I should write this out so I can have the answer made clear.
Does my son know I was a prostitute ?
When I've been asked that, I learned to say, Well, he knows his mum's not a nun.
That usually makes a guy laugh and that way I don't have to say a word more.
But, I will say, once my boy was in puberty and all that sort of thing him being aware of, he did once see a guy pay me and he asked me why. I just said he's just helping me out.Then another time he asked me why I had so many boyfriends (and James my toyboy confirmed this to me) because he said James (his mate) said I had a lot of boyfriends.
So I said to him, That's only because James' parents are married and I am still looking for a father figure for you!.
That's honestly all I could think to say.
All these things cropping up I didn't expect and seemed all because others had told him something or other.
And just when I thought that was the end of it, one time Dave B. my boyfriend sent me down across the road the car park to see his mates, we got caught by a group of about 4 local lads who been doing a bit of peeping at us over the wall.Next thing I knew (rumour was it was Paul R.) graffiti had gone up all around the estate, with my name and calling me a prostitute.
That same week when my son was just coming home from school, Janice J. our next door neighbour was having a go at me and she said, within earshot of my son, You got them all queuing up outside here.And she went in slamming her door!.
He didn't say anything, so I didn't say anything.I didn't know what to say!.
Another time I was dong some babysitting for a black guy I met at the pub.But, a few times he was asking for something else, so I asked my son,about 14 at the time, if he'd look after his younger son, while I just popped out for an hour.(Back to the black guys place, before his wife came home from work!)
Another time I took my son out shopping one day, when in one shop I bumped into a punter who own the shop!.To say my heart skipped a beat is saying something!, I didn't know how he would react!.But, he gave me a smile!.
Anyway, a few times in there, he'd ask me for a wank out the back,so I'd ask my son if he was alright looking at the toys and games and things and then I'd say, I'm just going to have a cuppa out the back.
This didn't last long though as word seem to reach his wife and one of the next times in there, she was there asking me all sorts and when I could only think to say he made passes at me,she said out loud, My husband don't take what ain't been put on a plate for him!.My son did hear that and so did half the shop.
We left.
So in answer to all that asked me, I've never said as much to my son, he's not ever asked me. But, I think he's aware enough to have put 2 and 2 together.
He does know I have dated 2 of his friends as well.He's not ever said anything.
So there.
