I once was a dancer , I did private parties this was years ago and I want you to know I know How you feel. I did this because I was molested as a child. I felt I was useless as an adult. I used my body and and my looks to get what I felt what I needed to get ahead in the world. When I was Pregnant with my first child I chaged myself. With no help from others. I was married to a customer who loved me very much. We had four beautiful children and now have 16 grandchildren. I had a breakdown when the man who molested me died because I live behind a wall. Let no one, tell you that you can not do it with them or without them. I did. I am now a minister for women that at one time was in the life. we do not degrade or feel that we have done wrong. We just took the wrong path, I pray for youbecause even now at 55 I am trying to find myself. (yes my husband is an old customer, we have been married since 1969.) Know in your heart and soul that you are who you are what you have done is in the past you are now in the present. LIve for now and know I pray for you and all in the house as you are beat to the ground. Come up strong. God will be there as long as you know that you are trying to change. Everyone is dishonest and everyone hold something back from all around her.
God Bless you. you are in our Prayers

Christina is my favorite person on the show and I think the absolute strongest with the best future. Ilyana tries to lead her down a path to be a whimpering weakling full of self regrets, with tears and whining and Christina does not fall fo it. If anyone is manipulative, it is Ilyana. Let's face it, Christina already started over. You can see it. She quit dancing and now wants to explore where she is going to go next. Do they focus on that?? NO! It is more to the advantage of the show to focus on the regrets and sorrow that they think they can squeeze out of her. Christina will be fine. The only problem is she does not have a lot of education and she may not live in an area where there is lots of opportunity. That's a real problem! She needs a GED or some focus on what kind of work she will someday want to do. All this crap about her manipulation and lying is trash. I haven't seen any of that on the show and if it was in her past why ressurect it. I don't by the crap line that you have to embrace it to resist it. She did what she had to do in the business which is tough and dangerous. The coaches are clueless and Dr. Stan is useless IMO. Not once did anyone of them mention that despite the honor issue, stripping and escorting is dangerous for women and many wind up victims of violence and disease. That is the reason not to go back to it and the honor thing is an obvious concoction of the show. JMO I will add. thanks for listening.
