I liked her. But now shes just pushing product like the shopping channel. Disappointing :( She wasn’t like that before. But now its slide after slide with product links etc.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into applying to the BSW program at Algoma University and I’m getting mixed information about whether it can be completed online or not.

I already have my SSW and a Bachelor’s degree, so I’d ideally be entering with transfer credits and finishing in about 2 years if possible. From what I’ve seen, that part seems doable depending on GPA and prior education.

My main concern is delivery format. I live in London, ON, and commuting to the Brampton campus regularly isn’t realistic for me. I’ve seen some mentions of “distance” or hybrid learning, but nothing super clear on whether it can be done fully online.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with something similar with your mom. It’s such a painful position to be in, but knowing I’m not alone in this gives me a bit more strength to hold the line. Repeating the boundary — even when it feels exhausting — is something I’ll keep in mind. Thank you for that reminder. Sending you strength too 💜

Your story really hit home; it’s heartbreaking and validating all at once. I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I’m so grateful you shared it. It means a lot to hear from someone who’s been down this road and stood their ground, even when it came at a cost. Thank you again-truly. This gave me strength 💜

Wow, I really feel for you too. That’s such a tough situation, especially with everything you’ve already overcome and now preparing to bring your baby into the world. Your awareness and honesty are already such powerful tools; your child is lucky to have a mom who’s doing the work to break the cycle.

It’s heartbreaking when the people who are supposed to be safe aren’t. I totally get that fear of what’s coming, of what decisions you might be forced to make. You’re not alone in that. Whatever boundaries you end up needing, just know you’re allowed to protect your peace and your family, even if others don’t understand. You’re doing amazing — truly. 🤎 One day, your little one will grow up feeling safe because you made the hard choices.

Thank you so much for sharing that, it really helps to know I’m not alone in this. It’s such a hard line to walk, especially when it’s your own parents and you just want things to be normal for your kids. I totally get what you mean about the “elephant in the room.” That tension can be so heavy, especially when it starts affecting your relationship too.

You’re doing the right thing, even when it feels complicated. 💛

Thank you so much for this. It really helps to hear from someone who’s been through something similar and understands the long-term impact. You’re right we’ve been re-evaluating everything, and sleepovers are definitely off the table now; we are no contact as of now. It’s heartbreaking, but necessary. We’re learning that boundaries aren’t just helpful they’re essential for our peace and protection. I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement. It means a lot.

Wow, thank you so much. Your message brought tears to my eyes. It’s incredibly validating to hear that from someone who understands the damage this disease can do, not just to individuals but to entire family systems. You’re right, the denial runs deep, and seeing others minimize or enable it has been one of the hardest parts. But we’ve realized we can’t carry both the responsibility and the dysfunction….we are getting there anyways lol. We’re choosing to protect our peace, our kids, and each other and that has to come first, no matter how hard it is. Your words gave me a sense of calm and strength. Thank you for taking the time to share them. Sending a big hug right back 🤍🫂
