I was in a really emotionally abusive relationship for a long time. I knew I had to leave, but I was scared of how I would survive on one mediocre income; my ex was always sure to remind me that he had a much better paying job and that I was broke compared to him. I came across camming, and it really intrigued me. My relationship was also void of sex. I felt unattractive, and I was chastised if I ever took pride in my appearance or received compliments from others. Being a cam girl, having fun, talking to people, being worshipped/desired by others, AND getting paid for it, seemed like a dream job.
