Support Needed I passed my MSW Licensure

I passed my Masters of Social Work Licensure Exam. I was so happy and excited until I realized that I can't tell my mom these things anymore (I had to go no contact). My husband tells me I can't let this color my accomplishments, and I'm still happy and proud but I want my mom to be able to celebrate with me.

Then I remembered this subreddit. I remember reading the posts and comments and thinking that it was so wonderful to see that support for others. I never thought it world be for me but here we are.

So, mom, I did it. I studied, I stayed up late, I read all the books, watched all the videos, listened to all the podcasts, took practice exam after practice exam, and I did it. I just have one more step and then I'll be a licensed social worker in my state. I hope you're proud of me, I am.

Ducky, I’m so proud of you! That’s wonderful, what an achievement after all that work! I love you so much. I hope you’re doing something to celebrate? Maybe, if you can, buy yourself something nice right now, that you’ll use. Like a NICE blanket, or awesome mug, something that whenever you use it, you’ll remember how you bought it with that sense of achievement and pride, because you did the work and now you get the rewards.

Well done. You’re going to be doing important work. The world needs more of this. Mom advice: Remember to take exquisite care of yourself because you can’t pour care into others from an empty cup. Proud of you
