I was an exotic dancer to pay for my son and my college education. Will my new fiancé's parents ever like me?

Question

I did what I had to do. Did I like taking my clothes off for money? No
Did it pay the bills, pay for daycare. Pay for my son to have nice things and all the toys he wanted , plus paid for me to go to college debt free. Yes 
I did what I had to do, coming from a very poor trailer park. Now I live In a 200,000 home and have a career! 
I am a veterinarian. And that's how I met my  stb 
husband. We shared a practice. 
His mother and father still call me trailer trash behind my back. I heard from a friend of the family that they say I accept tips from dog owners at work. 
There's probably a Vip room in back.

Answer

Who told them in the first place. Plenty of things about myself I don't want my in laws or even my parents to know.

Answer

I would cut ties with them personally. I get they are your fiances family but that doesn't mean that you have to deal with them. My husband doesn't want to deal with my "family" so he doesn't. I don't see why it matters not everyone was born with a silver spoon. You did what you had to do to get things done if they cant get past that then it's their problem not yours.

Answer

Who cares.. I use to be a stripper here in Vegas money was great! Wish I would have did more with it.. But well I got an actual job now and have 2 kids.. Who cares I knew a lot of girls who did it just to get by. It doesn't make you a bad person.. The dirty pervs who support it should get more shame then us gals just trying to make a buck..

Answer

I admire you. You worked hard to get what you wanted out of life.

Answer

You did right by you and your son. They sound like judgmental douche bags. You made something of yourself and obviously your husband doesnt mind and he loves you. I would cut them out until they learn to shut their mouths. You don't deserve that shit.

Answer

Wow what judgemental assholes... If your fiance doesn't care about your past, then that's all that matters.

Answer

Lmfao that's stupid who cares what they say... I know it's hard to ignore mean things sad by your future in law's but who cares. You obviously did what you needed to do for yourself and your son. That's all that matters,,and who you are today matters not who you used to be. Not everyone is prefect and as a mother you do whatever you have to go provide for your child! And you did just that,,I would make jokes back at them and say something like yeah me and the dog out a show in for them lol. Make jokes back to show them it don't bother you and don't let it get to you :)

Answer

Clearly you already know that they can go fuck them selves...

You commited no crime!

You succeeded alone with your son, you were all you had and you held it down. Forget what they say because it should mean nothing to you, you don't need their approval! Your husband loves you, your son loves you, you love you! That's all that matters.

You need to stay strong because people like them don deserve to be around people like you.

You're amazing keep kicking  butt!

We're all proud of you!

Answer

As long as you don't  hide anything and make it known that you have no regrets about it that's all that matters. You did what you had to do and now it's over. Nothing wrong with that

Answer

It is to be respected that you are not hiding this from them and you are honest about your life.
You did not choose to be born to a poor family but money is not everything!!

Just have a grown up discussion with them and ask them what would have they done different if they were in your shoes!?!?!!
Would your mother in law watch his son being hungry or would she shake her bum bum for some money?!
I'm not sure if I could do this- not confident enough and thank God I am not in that situation now but hey- is your life- you are transparent about it so there is nothing to talk about!!!
