Can you believe it’s 2026 and some people still have a problem with the world’s oldest profession? Yup, sex workers still have to fight for their right to do what they want with their bodies… as actual adults. Ridiculous.
One woman got disowned by her parents after they found out about her escort career. They only ever reached out to shame her, or claim her “fiancé” was either imaginary, or a pimp. When they found out he was real and no pimp, though, things went sideways.

Furious, the woman let her dad know that, after his accusations he’d never, ever, meet her fiancé, but now she’s wondering if that was a jerk move
The original poster (OP) thought losing her parents would be the biggest plot twist of her life. After being disowned for her choice of career , she went no-contact. No groveling for forgiveness. No dramatic apologies. Then life laughed and said, “Surprise!” because she met a wonderful guy, fell in love, and got engaged.
Six months later, her dad resurfaced via email , armed with judgment, hellfire, and unsolicited opinions. He scolded her for not begging forgiveness for being a sex worker and warned no man would ever want her. When she mentioned her loving fiancé, her parents decided he either didn’t exist or, get this, was obviously her pimp.
Well, OP’s fiancé is no pimp but, sadly, he is very ill. He has severe scoliosis and needs spinal fusion surgery. Her folks found out through Facebook sleuthing and suddenly had a change of heart. Now, with her mom’s nursing background and similar back issues, they wanted to “extend an olive branch” and help care for her fiancé post-surgery.
OP wasn’t buying it. After calling her partner imaginary and criminal, she told them they’d lost the privilege of meeting him or being in their lives. Her parents are crying for forgiveness, her aunt is urging reconciliation, but OP’s still salty. So, she turned to an online community to ask if she’s holding a grudge, or just holding her boundaries?
It’s easy to see where OP’s coming from, isn’t it? Her parents were the ones who disowned her, but now that the reality of actual estrangement is hitting home, they want a free pass to forgiveness and family time. Just how common is going no-contact with family, though? And does OP have anything to gain by burying the hatchet?

The experts from Psychology Today say adult children who’ve gone through a lifetime of strain may feel compelled to take a step back from their family for their own well-being. Makes sense – who needs negative vibes?
In his 2020 book Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How to Mend Them , Dr. Karl Pillemer’s survey revealed that 27% of U.S. citizens out of a total of 68 million were estranged from a family member, with 10% experiencing estrangement from either a parent or child. That’s a fair whack of the population.
Now, on to OP’s dilemma: forgive and forget? Mayo Clinic says letting go of grudges can make way for improved health. Some of the benefits include improved mental health, less anxiety, fewer symptoms of depression, and improved self-esteem.
What you might not know is that forgiveness also comes with awesome physical benefits the moment you choose to let go. Who doesn’t want lower blood pressure, a stronger immune system, and improved heart health?
Well, whatever OP chooses to do, at least she’s found the love of her life. We’d say her parents need some more time in the sin bin for their outrageous accusations and that stinker of an email, wouldn’t you?
