But a while ago, I found out she’s actually a high-end escort.
Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions my mom is highly educated, has a solid career, and makes more than enough money from her regular job. She’s smart, classy, and honestly one of the most intelligent women I know. Financially, we’re stable now, and have been for years. That’s why it surprised me that she still chooses to do this.
Most people hear “escort” and immediately think it’s only about sex. But from what she explained to me, that’s not the reality at least not for her. Most of the time, it’s about being a date for wealthy men at galas, business dinners, charity events, etc. She shows up looking glamorous, keeps good conversation, makes them feel admired. It’s more about companionship, presence, and presentation than anything else. She did admit that sometimes intimacy happens, but said it’s rare compared to what people think (like 90% of the time it’s not even about that).
What I don’t fully understand is why she started. My guess is it began after the divorce. We weren’t struggling financially, but maybe it gave her a sense of independence, excitement, or something she wasn’t getting otherwise. Even now, with her stable high-paying job, she continues. I don’t judge her it’s her life and her choice. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little weird about it sometimes.
