Thanks for the replies guys, makes me feel a lot better. I suppose there are lots of reasons we don't tell others what we do, I too don't show my face on my website as I would hate for someone I know to come across it! It is a shame that our profession is viewed in the way it is by so many people and we have to keep it so secretive but that's the way it is. The only person that knows what I do (apart from my clients obviously!) is my husband who is extremely supportive. I know my children are very well cared for and what I do as a job has no effect on them what so ever, but it still makes you worry. They have two great parents, and there are a lot of kids out there that unfortunately are neglected by not good parents so I shouldn't worry really.
