I raise my daughter by myself. Her mum has not bothered to come to see her for more than 3 years. She calls now and then but that’s it. Some of my friends are in similar situations. None of those “mothers” work the streets, I guess they are what most people would call normal.
Judging from the comments here, and my personal experience, it’s seems like it’s sociable acceptable for a mother to act like that these days.
It might be the results of feminism, or that we simply have raised generations of women that don’t have any sense of responsibility.
My impression was that women who took to the street often did so in a desperate attempt to take care of their kids, but it seems more like having kids actuality gets in the way of their desired lifestyle of drugs/alcohol and sex.

Not all men are after sex . Some of us are gentle and caring and just want that closeness that only a woman can provide .

It's hard for you to understand something you haven't gone through. Although, I was never sexually abused, I have many friends who were... Many of them become promiscuous. Something was taken from them, they were forced to have sex with some grown men, when they were just kids... As they grow up, for them, being intimate is nothing, some of them crave it, because they were sexualised at an age, they should not have known about intimacy. These men also groom these women, it's creates a dynamic and a lot of confusion, for these women, even after they done with the abuse. For some, it's also a way to take their power back. Sometimes, they feel like, since they were forced to do it so many times, they may as well get paid for it. I cannot imagine dealing with the type of abuse these women have gone through, it definitely scars you forever. Different people react different way, we are all unique individuals, with different challenges, backgrounds, personalities, sensitivities. Some people will react one way to trauma, others will react an other way. You can't really say that because your friend were sexually abused and are not in the streets, these girls should not be on the streets either... Life and humans, don't work that way.

id: 1362471 - Text: @ladyjadelindia It's not that every woman who has been sexually abused as a child becomes a prostitute, but that most prostitutes have a background of sexual abuse in their childhoods - (apart perhaps from Eastern European women who are trafficked to the UK with the promise of a job in domestic service, then find themselves being forced into prostitution).
It's about ones sexual boundaries having been ignored & invaded for so long that one has no sense.of entitlement to being able to say no to people using & abusing ones body any more.
