I've been dating my girlfriend for a year and a half, we're very comfortable, moving in together soon, etc. She also has a Five year old son, but he's not part of the problem.
My girlfriend used to be a prostitute, and Honestly, that bothers me to a relatively high degree. She was one in the area we live in, but she stopped when She got pregnant with her son. I hate his dead beat father, but she insists on him being in her sons life.
Anyhow, I know there are people that will know who she is and what she's done, and I'm not sure how to deal with that. I'm not mad at her or anything, it's just that a stigma cloud follows her now and I'm not sure personally how to deal with the attention it draws.

If it really bothered you that much you would not be moving in with her.
Outside of that it is in the past and purely your issue, get over it or move on to someone who has a relatively low degree of something that bothers you.

My girlfriend used to be a prostitute...
How awesome it would be if your name was John.

"So, John, how'd you guys meet?"

"Oh, I saw walking down the street. Apparently her car broke down and she needed a ride..."

"Where does she live?"

"She's got a place at motel..."

"She owns a motel?"

"No, she just works there..."

If you've been together a year and a half, the level of stigma, if any, has already surfaced. That said, it hasn't altered your decision on moving in with her, so move forward with that plan and focus on your relationship, not what others may or may not think about it.
