[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 687252, member: 18958"] This is a brilliant post. Sometimes people make choices for their effect. And they do hurt other people. They act in such a way as to embarrass and humiliate or control or to compete--and it is hurtful, not because it is an unintended consequence but because it was their intention to cause hurt. It is not just their personal choice to live a life that is different and unique or unconventional. It is to do things in their lives that hurt people. And to not care. Or to do it just because it hurts other people. I am old school. I believe that being a prostitute is not about sex and not about money for most people. Your daughter sounds like a very able person with all kinds of options who has chosen this specific profession for very specific reasons. She may be somebody who at this point in her life wants to defy, wants to trample boundaries of convention, wants to dominate and control, wants to shock, wants to be seen and attract attention, and possibly may even want to hurt. It may be that these wants of hers, are the whole point. If this is the case anybody around her will be at the receiving end of her behaviors, and be hurt. Yes. It is her personal choice, having nothing in the world to do with her mother or her brother or his new father in law. Except that they, each of them, are impacted by her choices because she at this point in her life wants to inflict her choices on other people, devil may care. I do not necessarily see it as the limit of the brother or mother or the people around Daughter who need to go to therapy to learn how to not take personally the behavior of a person who is choosing to act out.
