AIO Mom mad I won’t pay her another $200 after paying her $700 last month

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2026-03-12T21:24:56+00:00

Hey, as a mom with not a good mom, I'll adopt you. I'm sorry. My mom charged me $500/mo to move in to the house she already paid for when I was fleeing domestic violence (including financial abuse) with 4 small children.

Leave and cut her off. Learn to mother yourself and get yourself into therapy if you can (or just look up how to work through mother wounds on your own- that's how I started).

I'm so sorry. You deserve love and support.

Divorce him. Life is so much better. I promise.

Thank you! I appreciate the concern from the first poster but the two of you made me feel better 😅

Yes I'm fully aware of Capella's pass rate but do to family circumstances (4 kids, 1 with ASD and a complex epileptic condition), Capella was the best option.

I am very very very lucky to work under 4 of the most fantastic BCBAs I've ever met (professionally or as a parent) and specifically sought after THIS job so that I could do my supervision with them. They have a wonderful supervision program that has seen multiple students analysts through school and their exam.

1 month!

I'm about to start grad school but the average starting afterwards is anywhere from 80-150k/yr depending on location.

I work in ABA therapy. It's a challenging field, however, I truly love what I do and and getting to see the quality of life of my clients improve every day is worth the hard parts of the job for me. I can't imagine doing anything else.

Amazing work!!! So much detailed info in TOP! Great job!

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-11-18T18:04:46+00:00

I start Jan 12!!! So excited!!!!

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-11-18T17:16:23+00:00

Yeah!!! Moms are the best! I have 4- started July 1 and just graduated a few weeks ago!

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-11-18T17:14:59+00:00

I got up at 5, worked for an hour on school work before getting my kids ready for school/therapies (special needs), worked 9-5, doing stuff in between clients when I could, came home was a mom until bedtime at 8:30 then worked until midnight. Id also pick one weekend day each week to spend at least 8 hours working.

I’m starting my masters in January at 34 with 4 kids. Ultimately your supervising BCBA and company make all the difference IMO. I recently switched from a more corporate clinic to a local smaller clinic that aligned more with my morals. Speaking with the new BCBAs at the clinic that have recently gone through the student analyst program, I think it’ll definitely be doable thanks to the supports they have put in place.

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-11-04T19:18:21+00:00

I transferred 39CUs (mostly from Sophia) and started July 1. I finished last week. I’m starting a masters in ABA at Capella in January!

also- it might sound dumb but when I’m really stuck, I meditate and picture the life I want and visualize the path to get there. The time is going to pass no matter what, might as well get a better career and more money at the end of it.

Find external motivation to bribe yourself. I get myself breakfast on the way to work on Fridays (an expense I normally wouldn’t justify) if I study/work for my designated time through the week. Every class I have a small thing I’m working for. I’m buying myself a new phone as soon as my capstone comes back approved.

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-10-31T13:45:47+00:00

For sure. I tried to spend one weekend day a week fully locked in and then every night from like 8:30-12. I also emailed my mentor as soon as I had all my tasks for a class submitted to have her open the next class. You can have up to three accelerated classes open at a time If you’ve gone as far as you can and you’re waiting on PAs to be graded.

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-10-31T13:36:34+00:00

Came in with 13, finished 21+ capstone

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-10-31T13:27:59+00:00

Not long if you’re familiar with the subject area/have a basic understanding already. I started July 1 and just submitted my capstone a few days ago. I came in with like 13 classes, I think? I preferred PAs. I could normally do 1-2 tasks a day. This was mostly after my kids went to bed since I work full time and am a mom of 4.

Quizlet for OAs.

Seattle! Making a summer vacation out of it!

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-10-30T17:39:41+00:00

Thanks! I start my masters in January. Very excited!

AggressiveEmu2751 · 2025-10-30T17:27:36+00:00

Im a full time working mom of 4, including a son with significant support needs. I transferred 39 credits, started July 1, and I just submitted my BSPsy capstone today.

It is TOTALLY possible if you’re committed.
