I quit prostitution and to get it from torturing me, I told the police. They went through my computer and got all my clients off of email. I was just trying to get myself ready to go to jail. But they said they are not charging me. And on Christmas day, the main police officer investigating the case and another police officer came over and said they're having my heat turned back on and will help me pay for it through a program. They were so kind to me and just talked to me for an hour and asked me how I was doing. I was just in tears that they were so kind to me. Shoutout to Officer Hansen. He was sooo good to me. They are getting me in contact with human services in my area for a psychological evaluation and they are also getting me in contact with the social security office for disability. My dissociation has gotten worse so I am going to a treatment center in Florida called the refuge for trauma. But Officer Hansen has been checking in on me everyday and it brings me to tears. My family doesn't even talk to me anymore, but some stranger takes their time to see how I'm doing and talk with me. I know there are bad police, and that's all I thought, but the whole police force has been so kind to me. They are charging the men I slept with though. Which I feel bad, because I'm walking free, but they are going to jail. But I guess that's the law in Two Rivers, WI.

This sounds like a really positive step in your life - I am so happy for you Your story is proof that there is still goodness in the world in the most unexpected places. Good luck in the treatment program!

The very hardest, darkest, lowest part of my life forced me toward getting assistance, and mental health counseling. Now years later - it has turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me. My life is not what I thought it would be, but it is quite healthy, safe, and stable. You are very lucky for this low time. Try not to own the feelings of responsibility toward the others. At this time, you need to keep all your thoughts and energy on yourself. You don't have the mental strength to carry guilt. Just promise yourself you will set time aside in your future to think about that, if you can't let it go. But for now, just begin these steps, it will be hard during this transition time. But so much good can come from it. Trust the system. Follow your therapists, and counselors and case managers direction. Let yourself be helped.

I had been crying too. I have to get Bad Ben under control though. Because he's an alter that has been really active lately and taking control.

Wow that is honestly so amazing, some times cops really are there to help you ("We're only here to help people," I've heard this from more than one cop in my day haha).

Yea I was shocked. I always thought cops were bad lol. But it's also a town of about 15,000 I live in so the cops are more caring.

[Keegan2015]

So are they setting you up with a social worker (or something similar)? I'm sure your situation is still difficult but there are usually a wealth of public resources available for people who are in such situations (at least where I live).

I'm thankful the cops are working with you to get support. I hope this all works out for you.

[earthangel1]

Yes, they are setting me up with a social worker, who I already met today. She is amazing and understands my DID. They are giving me credits for heat, courtesy of the police department who is setting me up with that, they're helping me get on disability, helping me get subsidized housing in February, getting me a cell phone, lots of great things. And I live in Wisconsin, so they're pretty generous with public welfare.

I'm glad you made that call. Sounds like the start of a very good year.

It does not seem fair they are charging the men.

I know and do understand. The law here though is the men get charged and not the prostitute. It's that way in Sweden and a lot of European countries.

Incredible. Instead of jail, you are getting allot of positive attention and support from, of all places, actual policemen. I would not of believed this until I came across your post! But what is *most* important in your post is that you gave up prostitution. I suspect this rarely done by others in your situation. Must of take n allot of courage in more ways than one.

I wish for you only the best! best to you! IMO this is quite a Xmas present.
