I still maintain that you've taken your first steps on a huge journey of expansion and growth...and I think you'll be a great social worker. I think the more important qualifications for that are compassion and empathy.

Hi friend, I'm so sorry you had such a hard Easter weekend. I think you need to respect yourself and your intuition about this person. I think it is pressure like this that can often lead to SA in the first place, especially with children (the idea that we shouldn't follow our intuition but make this person 'happy'). Hope you're feeling a little better now after some time to process it and have space from your mom...? Sending you Gold Raindrops

I am very sorry I just posted the same message multiple times. My "return" key is apparently stuck and when I hit enter it posted my message to you three times. I was also going to say that you can write @ followed by the name of the member to tag them, or hit the box at the bottom of a post that has a plus mark in it. + That will take that person's post and allow you to reply directly to it. Wishing you the best, Gold Raindrops
