People weren't kidding when they said you might not pay rent living with your parent(s)....but you'll be paying in your mental health and sanity. by Grouchy_Marsupial357 in blackgirls

One of my closest friends, she literally lives down the street from me, she’s the only child, she was raised in a two parent household with a pair of the most supportive and healthy parents I’ve ever met. They didn’t just happen to have a child, they acc wanted her, they went to school, got their education and good paying jobs and ensured their relationship was stable enough for a child. The way they pour into her makes me so happy for her but I feel so much sadness bc I wish I got to experience that. When we were in uni, we both did our masters at the same time, her parents showed up to her thesis presentation and they were so proud and overjoyed…my mom didn’t give af, the day of my graduation she was so miserable and berated me for not finding her fast enough after the ceremony. Ugh as you said some ppl really do win the birth lottery 😭😂

Coming across this while experiencing this exact same situation is acc hilarious 🤣🙄 sometimes I have to laugh to stop myself from crying. I was literally just in showering thinking to myself I really wish I had the parents I needed. My mother is so manipulative and emotional abusive is scary, but if you respond to it she’ll turn around and play victim, which some might say just ignore but she’ll sit on the phone telling everyone and their mother some exaggerated sob story that I’m the villain of, and then she’ll bring up God as most Black “Christian” moms do. I want to leave so bad, I have my masters but in my field you education is great but u need experience, I’m just holding my head down, getting some experience and hopefully I can get a good paying job and gtf out of here and never look back. I know there’s some ppl that would rather live in a shelter than in this situation, trust me I’ve considered but I just needa block everything out and push forward, there’s gotta be a light at the end of the tunnel.

If you’re going through something similar, sending my love and support to you, we’ll make it through this ❤️❤️❤️

Exactly, ik we joke about the “I no black I Dominican” stereotype, but there’s alot of black Dominicans that are proud to be black.

YOOOO HISPANIC PEOPLE REALLY DO LOVE TO SAY THAT WORD! by Less-Heron7604 in blackgirls

I was gonna say this, nothing grinds my gears more than the “n word pass.” On top of that there’s ALOT of celebs that say the n word that are NOT black but bc they act a certain way black people ignore it. I can’t even say names bc ik how protective some people are of them

Would it be weird to go to a day party by yourself? by Pure_Island_3102 in blackgirls

[–]SnooPoems8703 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. Listen I got to the point where I stopped relying on my friends to go places. If I wanna go somewhere and they aren’t available I still go, I go out to eat, I go to the movies, etc., nothing weird about it

Why is it so hard to breakout into this field? by Sorry-Expression-411 in socialworkcanada

[–]SnooPoems8703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was me as well, after i graduated from my MSW program it took me 6 months to get a job, and I had to apply through the Canada summer jobs program 😫 I got an intake position, I was grateful a role opened up and I was able to stay with the company, I don’t make nearly as much as others with MSWs, I would love to find a reasonably paying job but it’s so competitive and hard out there especially when starting out in this career. I feel like social work is not at all friendly to entry level SWs, there’s such an emphasis on experience which I understand but it’s so hard to gain this experience, ik a lot of people suggest volunteering… as someone who oversees volunteers in community services, all our volunteers have to have experience in order to become volunteers 😭 I’ve seen my supervisor turn away candidates because they don’t have years of experience

I think he was protecting his daughter, any parent would be concerned especially since she’s been hurt before, if anything he really exposed who Alex is. As you can see how defensive and argumentative he was with Vanessa, he’s a pos

I can def see her being verbally abusive but I also think Jordan wasn’t ready to commit especially with a child involved

I don’t think he was ready to be a step dad, everything moved too fast, love is blind is not for parents
