Just to clarify, because I realized I had erased a sentence, and accidentally left key info out as a result.
You know your situation and what you feel is best better than any of us can. At the same time, I’m not sure that stripping is the right one for you based on your original post. Take a step back and consider everything from a calm space. Maybe plan through and compare three options, wait a day or two, then look back over them and see what feels right to you.
For example, you might consider these options:
1) Practicing verbal responses that you can use in the event of being touched. “Please don’t touch me without permission” “I asked you not to touch me like that” etc. I’ve practiced using these responses for just dealing with life, and that practice has made it a lot easier to whip them out when needed. If you feel it’s necessary, you could also take a self defense class.2) Apply for jobs elsewhere and prioritize where you will feel safer, or maybe where you will be exposed to a smaller subsection of the population
3) Try your skills as an exotic dancer! It’s a lot different from poling for fun, and it isn’t for everyone, but it might be foy you if it feels like something that won’t drive you crazy and if you won’t feel overly competitive with the other girls.

Hey Serzi, I just wanted to hop on and offer you some encouragement. People who think they have the right to just reach out and touch somebody else are incredibly frustrating. I hope that you find a way to feel more in control of your body, whether you strip or not. If you do, I think the resource from Cherished is full of good info.
I’m sure there will be a lot of supportive and encouraging polers on here, and I would be surprised if anyone actually comes at you against supporting your family how you feel is best. For me at least, I trust that you know your situation (emotionally, physically, financially, etc.) better than I possibly could through the computer screen.
And, to be completely honest, I think exotic dancing is an awesome profession. I actually got into pole because I love feeling like a stripper and twerking just wasn’t getting me enough mileage on its own. I have definitely considered monetizing the skills, but it just hasn’t fit into my schedule at that level. Don’t forget that some people may judge, but other people like me will think you’re awesome! The world is full of diverse people – surround yourself with the best of them (you’ve got a good start with Veeners!).

I’m on Day 19! I was really excited when 30 Days to Flexy came out, and only waited a few days to begin. I measured how close I was able to get to the floor in front and side splits, and I’m going to measure again at the end of the program.
I have noticed that I feel more limber, but I’m not sure how much actual flexibility I’ve gained.

So many people on here already – I barely made it down the list on the big following binge I just undertook. I am brand new to IC (as in, today new), so there’s not much on there yet, but lots of documented struggling to come!
