Social Worker stigma

I dont know how many people read this so not sure how much input I'll get. Has anyone else experienced different treatment because of being a social worker or going to school for it? It may be because I work in the district attorney's office and with many officers but I find so many people who speak badly of social workers, their bleeding hearts, and sticking their noses where they dont belong. Im so shocked when I hear this and have no idea how to respond. It really hurts my feelings. Anyone else experience this or have input?

Frustration

School, work, 9 year old, 11 month old, custody court case, school, house in escrow, sleeping on my parents couch, living out of a suitcase, single parent, using my Dad's horribly old & slow computer, school, training for a 12 woman 178 mile relay run, school, .... Did I mention school???? Find a quiet place to do homework they say... Practice mindfulness they say... I don't even have my own bedroom right now or house for that matter & my computer is in storage because I thought I'd be moving right into our new house....Loosing my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!
