Just imagine if you are a parent and you found out your son/daughter, were a prostitute or drug dealer would you still love them?

Question

You are officially a parent to a beautiful daughter or handsome son, and you want them to tell you anything but they kept a secret job? But eventually you have stumbled a pon either drugs or a condom in your son's or daughter's room, feeling worried you search for your child until have found your child selling drugs or selling their bodies for money.

How would you react finding your own child being either a prostitute or a drug dealer?

Love them? Yes.
If they're an adult: But I would hate myself everyday for the rest of my days for having failed so absolutely and miserably as a parent. I dont know how often I could bring myself to interact with them. Would probably send letters and money through mail begging them to change their ways, letting them know i love them dearly, but the pain their actions are causing me makes it too hard to be in close contact with until they decide to reform.

If they're a minor: They get enrolled into therapy immediately, I spend more time with them, keeping an eye on them. I try to make them see a better option to life and just try to do my best with what I have. I can't say it'll change them because everyone has to make their own decisions in life. But I wouldn't be mean just try to make them see the light.

if I had children and they got into cartels... I would send them to "military prison" because I love them and because I love everyone else in my life as well

so yes, I would love him or her, but they're still going to prison to be reformed, though love

Yeah but both of those things would disappoint me. I am not that much open minded to prostitutes but I think even open minded people would be upset if their daughter became a prositute. But more than just disappointed, I will be worried for her, I'd try to convince her to leave it and help her find something else. If my son will want to join a cartel, I'd try to convince him too but I will be mad because he is selling poison to people and hurting others... I'll just inform the authority to stop him amd reform him, I won't be a complice of his crimes by keeping silent.
One has to be responsible

Of course I would still love them. Parents always love their kids no matter what, but I would try to reform them. If my son/daughter were a prostitute or a drug dealer, I would try to understand why they did what they did.. was it because of lack of money? or is it something else? Trying to find out the root cause of the problem is ALWAYS very important. It would help me in the rehabilitation journey.. I'd also send them to a therapist and as NathanDavis said, maybe I'd even send them to a military school. I feel like it'd be a good influence on them

Of course I would still love them! My children cannot do anything that would make me not love them. Unconditional love.

Yes because they are still your son , daughter. they may have mental health problems, drug problems etc to overcome. I would feel bad that I did not noticed the signs.

RobT312 · Answer

I believe in unconditional love... I think you’d always love your kids no matter what. However, I would make every effort to deter them away from prostitution and drug dealing for multiple reasons

AhmadGH106 · Answer

For my daughter, she will have a good father and i will make her all her needs and she will never wait to sell her body for money... and the same for my boy.. But if Something like this happened. I Deal with it quietly at first, advise them and give them opportunities, and if that doesn't work, I will follow any way to punish them.. Without physical harm, of course, they will be aware enough and beating will not work with them..

AviatorTom · Answer

Of course I'd LOVE them, even though I may not LIKE what they're doing, and I would have a parent-child talk with them about what they are doing and ultimate consequences of that.

Prostitute I'm ok as long as it's her choice and she's on a legal company/independent. Drug dealer no. I don't want him/her be responsible for destroying other people's lives.

DaveToo · Answer

You first have to ask yourself why are they doing either one. If they were mine I'd blame myself for not giving the right examples.

ChiPaPa · Answer

Well, I would hope that I was a good enough parent so they wouldn't turn to that. I live in a state where they could run a pot dispensary, so I'd try to steer them towards that. The prostitution, well, we could try to move them to a country where it's legal and state regulated, so as long as they're ok and not in legal trouble I'd be ok.
