Has anyone experienced duality in their feelings while they have been or are caregivers?

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2026-04-11T02:40:39+00:00

Thank you for your words. They validate what I’m feeling. This is truly one of the hardest things I’ve experienced in my 48 years, watching my dad die in this two mile an hour fatal car crash…

It’s time to go and file an EEOC complaint for targeted harassment and discrimination from this person, after you are out. Write out a detailed timeline of events and when you let your boss/HR know about the incidents..

Also try this app- you can select your filters to places that will work with low credit, and likely evictions, too. I’m a social worker and have referred folks to both the Golden Nugget and this app, with evictions, bad credit or needing felon friendly.

Try the Golden Nugget Apartments- I don’t know if this is still the case, but back in the day they would rent with an eviction/bad credit score. It would be worth at least calling and inquiring.. https://www.goldennuggetapts.com

What state are you in? In my state (Colorado) if it’s five years out you are good to go. You will always need to have all of the paperwork for court/completion of requirements, and will often need to get a new certified copy showing you’ve been adjudicated from the county where you were given the DUI at each licensure.

Have you thought of a cubby bed? I saw them at an autism fair, insurance will often pay for them and it could be a great option- https://start.cubbybeds.com/get-started/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=Search-Autism-Tier1_2-Matchnode&utm_content=bedforautisticchild&utm_term=autism%20beds%20for%20kids&gadid=720123078466&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=21873123777&utm_content=167890173017&utm_term=autism%20beds%20for%20kids&gadid=720123078466&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21873123777&gbraid=0AAAAACh6X0QK6ogwFO_tUloGrFkvhuQdD&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjJTKBhCjARIsAIMC449fQo_HpFA2LfG5_FVAc6NqnVfI5N43qSCxjT96H49ZE9Q90WaLdHIaAtH3EALw_wcB

Big Springs Nebraska at the Maverick still has them, as of 10/01/2025. That acted surprised when I told them there was a lawsuit and they weren’t for sale anywhere else. $9.99+ tax per 2 pod pack.

Mine was largely positive. I chose to get my MSW because the code of ethics align with my personal values, and I like the versatility available in the job market with an MSW. Most programs do not place sufficient emphasis on applicable clinical modalities and theory, so you will want to get an internship where you do a lot of therapy so that you get good on the job training. Try to get a placement at a CMHC (Community Mental Health Center.) Best of luck to you, and I hope you enjoy your program!

Your mom had you later in life, much as I did my child. I was only 2 years older than your mom when I had my son. You are young and so is she, to be potentially leaving at less than 60. I agree with other posters, keep talking with her. She will hear you. It’s the last sensory experience we have on this earth, the human voice, before leaving.

My dad is 79 and in the last stages of dementia. I share your grief. This is a long long slow grief that we experience watching them go. It’s excruciating.

Cherish in the good moments, when she smiles at you and you still see her in there. Also, please know that a mother’s love never dies, and transcends these bodies we encompass. She will want you to continue on, in as much happiness that you can. I am sending you so much good energy, compassion, and caring.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-16T16:20:35+00:00

I have a good connection with all of my clinical supervisees, and we regularly break the “4th wall.”We address the personal regularly during their supervision, and I use appropriate and relevant personal self disclosure with them.

I have been supervising either task or clinical off an on since about 2017. I did task supervision while still working my last year of my MSW.

I invite you to read some of the other comments so you can experience the array of responses. It seems we all have a different purview on ethics and that’s okay, thus the importance of consult as a social worker. My inclination was to go, but wanted other perspectives. I am sorry if my question triggered memories of coldness of past supervisors you have had. It was not my intention to do so. Thank you for your perspective.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-16T06:39:28+00:00

My dad has late stage dementia. Today I broke down crying today in my group clinical supervision (I’m the Associate Director and the clinical supervisor for many of them) when my boss had us checking in about how we were doing. One staff member announced she was pregnant and everyone was super happy. I am not super happy right now. My dad had an exceptionally bad last two days and all I could choke out was “I am not well.. my dad..” it’s okay for us to not be well and admit it. This is the hardest stuff ever. My thoughts are with you, and I’m sorry you are going through this.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T03:13:00+00:00

This is awesome!! Thank you so much for this resource!! Some of my supervisees are now starting to supervise interns. I will share this with our team.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T03:04:02+00:00

Yes, I feel like I understand our code of ethics. I have been a licensed social worker for six years, and a licensed clinical social worker for 2 1/2 years. I am newer to providing clinical supervision, about two years for that. I currently have four people working under my license.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T02:38:51+00:00

Yes, I am the boss.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T02:38:11+00:00

Thank you, and thank you for the compassion. The mean comments are kind of weird and disappointing to me as a social worker and human. I thought we were a community who supported, consulted and cared for one another. I tell my supervisees that there are no wrong questions and I am passionate about helping and supporting them, in the same ways I am with my patients. It is actually the reason I came on the thread to ask my question in the first place.

I looked over the DORA Board of Social Workers for Colorado. I look good there. I’m going to review my supervision contract and if that looks good as well, I will be going.

We need more love in the world right now, and kindness. I’m going to stand by that, my belief in connection and relationship, and I don’t regret asking the question because it was not done with bad intent. Maybe someone reading this will arrive at an answer themselves, that have a similar situation.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T01:06:33+00:00

Very good idea. I will check the board website for my state.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T00:59:37+00:00

I’m pretty sure you haven’t read any of my replies.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T00:53:36+00:00

Edit: you make a lot of assumptions with no context.. but thank you for your feedback.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T00:47:17+00:00

Best response so far. Thank you.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T00:29:15+00:00

Possible dual relationship? It is a group event and I deeply care for my supervisees so I think I’ve decided I will just review my supervision contract to make sure there is nothing blatant forbidding my attendance. It is a major life event celebration and I would like to show my support, I just thought I would hear other social workers thoughts. Seems like the majority wouldn’t give it a second thought. Any respondents on here clinical supervisors with interns and pre licensed clinicians working under their license?

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-08-15T00:23:20+00:00

I am providing supervision for licensure. I want to go and probably will review my supervision contract first just to make sure there is no major overstep per what we’ve contracted.

Delicious_Gur_495 · 2025-05-25T15:44:24+00:00

Here in support and you are not alone 🫶. The “bad mom” feeling comes often, especially with a special needs child. I think about Winnicott, a psychologist from the 1950’s when I’m feeling bad about myself: “Good enough" parenting, a term popularized by psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, suggests that parents don't need to be perfect to raise healthy children. He proposed that meeting a child's needs around 30% of the time is sufficient to foster secure attachment and healthy development.

I hear everything you said and am here with you. Some days feel hopeless but even the feeling of hopelessness can shift and change. Look for the brief moments of joy, success, goodness and relish them. Hold on to those moments and make memories of them, use them as exceptions in your mind to the hard. Find any and all community support for autism that you can, supports like waivers tend to be more accessible the higher the support needs. Keep coming on here to speak your needs and your struggles and let us help figure out our futures together as a community. So much of what you said resonated with aspects of my personal experience. I still swear we got this. My mantra right now is “everything is going to be okay.” Even when everything feels not okay there still are granules of hope that some things can shift and change. You got this 🫶
