Anyone ever failed a class? How was your experience and this is my first time ever failing a class at UMGC? How will this affect my aid?

I just need advice or your personal experience.......

I just came off a case with a kid with intensive behaviors. His behaviors consisted of eloping, disrobing, property destruction, urinating, kicking, and hitting. I have been seeing this client in a school setting and have been working with him since October 2025. Now, I've moved to an in-home setting; this client throws stuff, disrobing, eloping, scratching, urinating, regurgitates and throws it, plays with feces, and engages in property destruction. I met with the BCBA and was told this client can't keep a therapist because of the intensive behaviors... and honestly, I don't think I can mentally handle it. I don't want to give up on the family, but after one day of working with the client, I don't think I can do it. I also have two kids of my own that I have to show up for. I know my job is to reduce behaviors, and I can't run from every kid with behaviors, but coming off a kid with intense behaviors to another kid with intense behaviors is killing me. Has anyone experienced this? What should I do?
