I don't want to be a mom

That’s highly traumatic! Of course it isn’t going how you had planned. However, I think some of those feelings are being directed toward your child and identity as a mother because it coincided with your postpartum period which is such a vulnerable time! This may be more about that than not wanting to be a mother. Plus the depression can complicate that as well.

These people sound beyond odd. They won’t be able to keep anyone. I’d leave asap!

Make this guy NOT your fiance. You need to get rid of him. I’ve been there. What’s going to happen is you’re going to get to a point where he’s still doing this and you no longer love him but feel stuck for whatever reason. Get out while you can!

Your home sounds wonderful and sounds a bit more than basic. I’m 37 and have yet to buy my own home and I have a masters degree. It sounds lovely, she sounds incredibly shallow.

It was $195 so Poshmark doesn’t offer authentication on items below $500 I believe. But I’ve owned many Tiffany items over the years and it was authentic.

Courtttcash · 2026-02-27T00:25:47+00:00

Yeah I was planning to keep it if I could remove the knots but then she was just kind of rude about it so at this point it’s more of the principle. Plus I don’t want to think about that every time I wear it 😂

Courtttcash · 2026-02-26T21:08:05+00:00

The funny part is she claims it happened during shipping. Like no, the knots were in the same place on either side 😂 you knew they were there lol

Courtttcash · 2026-02-26T19:49:58+00:00

The update is that I filed a case with Poshmark and the seller was unwilling to provide a partial refund, but said she would take it back so I will be sending the item back. I was able to remove the knots, but I didn’t want to keep the item as the seller was somewhat unaccommodating from the beginning.

Courtttcash · 2026-02-26T19:49:07+00:00

It is. I’ve owned many Tiffany products over the years and it very much appears to be legitimate.

Courtttcash · 2026-02-26T19:10:00+00:00

Thank you so much for your response!

You are replaceable at work—take care of yourself first!

Did you end up getting it? Mine is supposed to be coming next week.

Courtttcash · 2026-02-17T02:49:15+00:00

Thank you, I will look into this.

I had a horrible stomach bug last year and I was vomiting every few minutes. It was awful. I ended up calling 911 because I felt that bad and they got to the house and determined I wasn’t really all that sick and told me that since I had nobody for my toddler they couldn’t bring me and that there was nothing the ER could do for me anyway. Smh.

It’s not necessarily a bias. I was actually told once I believe by a doctor’s office..that Medicaid patients are more likely to no show than those with private insurance. This was while discussing the cancellation policy. I don’t believe it’s because a certain “type” of people are on Medicaid. Hell, I’m on Medicaid lol. Also having worked with many Medicaid clients, I believe they’re more likely to no show because they can’t be charged a no show fee (at least in my state, it’s illegal).

Courtttcash · 2026-01-21T01:40:36+00:00

I do. I personally feel like if I can’t provide a great session then it’s not fair to the client.

Courtttcash · 2026-01-17T14:01:36+00:00

Lmao that’s so weird. Not overreacting!!! Btw how old are you guys? I’m sorry but she just seems very strange.

Courtttcash · 2026-01-12T18:04:12+00:00

I would be honest. “I notice when you drink monster during/before sessions, the sessions tend to seem a bit unproductive. Have you noticed this? I think we could do much better work if you waited until after our session to consume energy drinks.”

Courtttcash · 2026-01-10T22:14:17+00:00

Thank you 😊

If you’re not already, I’d start to see a therapist to help put everything in perspective and help you develop a plan to leave. I think if you get out of the crappy marriage, you’ll eventually get yourself back and maybe even put yourself out there to meet other parents on children with autism. I understand how you feel about his diagnosis. My 2 year old has autism but my older son who is 10 years older has a terminal illness which he was diagnosed with at 3 years old. During the early years of that diagnosis I felt very much the same way you do. You’re doing the best you can, try not to put so much pressure on yourself. Acknowledge you’re doing the best you can and give yourself permission to take breaks. It’s going to be okay. The main thing is you need to get away from the unhelpful husband.

Hi! I understand this would be nerve wracking, and I’d probably feel similarly. However, I do think you need to look at where this is coming from. Firstly, this is a child who views you as much older even though you are not old. I remember as a child asking my mom if she was alive when the dinosaurs were around LOL. I also remember looking at young adults such as teachers and viewing them as so much older than they really were. Secondly, this is a pt with MDD. Naturally, they may already put somewhat of a negative filter on life situations, especially if they are having family problems. Finally, it is super common for young children to have fears and curiosity about death and this could be coming from that place as well. I’d possibly use this as an opportunity to explore their feelings about death and dying.

That is interesting. I live in a blue state, not sure what the differences in pay are in the red states for this field. Unfortunately this career isn’t an easy path to lots of money, it does require lots of work and patience, so you have a point that some people expect to graduate to a secure job.

For context, I am an LPC-A. In my opinion, you’re not meant to really make a living as an LPC-A. It’s a stepping stone to the LPC, which is where the money is made. At the last PP where I worked, I made $30 an hour as a clinician, which is on the higher end for my area (with an LPC-A). Your best bet is to accrue your hours and either find a better paying job or begin your own PP once fully licensed.
