I can't relate, my wife has been so supportive beyond belief. She takes the kids out on weekends so I can study, encourages me and quizes me on topics even though she doesn't know this stuff. She even put off vacation this summer so I could study with zero complaints. This has been a team effort by my whole family.

People should stop spitting their game on A71, it's kind of creepy.

I am 23 and I have probably been through more than some of you an imagine. I have suffered sexual,physical and mental abuse. I am a rape survivor, I became pregnant from the incident at 14 and had my son. I had to give up on some college dreams because I chose being a mother first even though I did not have to. Now, I am seeing a therapist and finally getting control of my bi-polar and PTSD[due to my trauma]. I still have flare ups and it is honestly a constant battle.

Despite telling my friend [at the time] and now my fiance all the things above and then some, he stood by me. I did not scare him away, even though I told him that I understand if you want to leave me alone. He hugged me and said “I am going to help you anyway I can!”. We have been together for 3 year now and he is a great father to my son and we just had our daughter who is 3 months old. I wont get my BA in Accounting until Spring 2014 and plan to get my MAcc a year after. I wont be sitting for the CPA exam until 2016(I know a really long time from now). I am putting it off because my fiance works at Nielsen Ad Co. and he is considering taking a CIS job in CT after I finish school.

I could have quit and say life was not fair to me and have a pity party but I did not. And my fiance who was only a good friend I met in Pre Calc at the time is now one or my,IF not my biggest supporter. I told the road to being a CPA is long and winding,but he said I want you to be successful. We are engaged, we wanted to get married but we cant even afford the extra 160 to get it done. I know sad, but when we FINALLY reach our success, it is going to be ALL worth the pain, death in the family, possibly losing reproductive organs, the suffering, the tight budgets, washing clothes out our parents house(bc we cant afford to go the laundry mat), driving 10+ year old cars, not having insurance on one car bc we coudnt afford the $300 mo payments, 570 credit scores, eating mac/cheese…hamburger helper…and chicken with brocolli bc thats all we can afford at ALDIs, wearing the same 8 outfits, living in a podunk duplex……EVERYTHING is going to be worth getting that license and I promise to God I am going to cry for HOURS once I get it!

SOOOO

With all that being said IF he does not want to support you with merely an exam, I agree with CPApending. he cannot help you with MORE significant moments of your life. Marriage tests EVEN the strongest of people and my fiance and I have been through a lot, so I know once we tie the knot officially then it should be a piece of cake compared to everything else we have been through.

Let mine and others stories of difficulty(on their way to success) give you the extra push to finish strong in your pursuit <3

In a sense, its good you were able to weed him out now before he wasted more of your precious time.

Go get your exam,someone else will see your achievements and WILL WANT to be part of that! 🙂

AccNewbieMom, I cannot say how much I admire people who have rebounded from adversity. I love hearing stories such as yours. I absolutely love being around self-motivated people. You are GREAT and YOU DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT YOU CAN GET. YOU RETHOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE AND YOU MADE IT HAPPEN. Bravo!

My story is sort of similar. I was homeless at 21. I panhandled and lived with homeless people under bridges and main street for 24 months. I was battling depression the entire time and faced other psychological issues that come with being homeless. Around me, besides a few, most people were drug addicts who had mental problems with easy access to drugs and needles. I was determined to leave the scene until I got fired from one job, and then another. I attended business school but failed 2nd year. I was torn. Then the bank seized my vehicle and my RRSP accounts (Canadian version of IRA). I had hit rock bottom. Completely devastated. I would cry to myself not knowing if I would come out alive or even dream of living a better life.

Then Salvation Army took me in. Gave me food, shelter, clothing. Gave me a brand new life. Now I'm doing well. I'm 25 and I own a 3-bedroom house. I drive a nice car. I manage my parents' business. I love myself so much, I look at my homeless life as a blessing in disguise. I'm so thankful for having experienced it, yes, it was tough, no, not many people can make it through, and yes, I made it because I found access to a wealth of inner strength that took control of my mental pain and gave me the confidence and self-esteem to think positive. Your thoughts are so powerful, they can change destiny. And I still face problems (relationships, rental issues, family) but I have enough mental power to look forward and think positive.

I believe I've been through more than most people my age, who can't handle the pain that people like you and I have experienced. Can't say how proud I am of you to take control of your life and take the path of success. You rock!
