Good onya, Georgiansilver.

Halifax has a prostitution problem. Many of the women are there because of drug use, but some are just trying to raise children. I remember a mother whose children I cared for: she was illiterate and not very employable. One day she came in, happy and excited. She'd got a job as stripper/dancer, and wouldn't have to sell sex any more. The following couple years saw her life get much better. She met a nice man while dancing, and he proved to be a loving stepdad to her children as long as I knew them.
