This Sure is My Week for Getting the Shaft
I just got this email… Sound familiar?
Hi Gina,
Elita from Blacktating featured my story on her web site yesterday (woo hoo!), which is great, but I wanted to give you a heads-up. I did credit you for your help, but it was apparently edited out at the last minute. I don’t know why she would’ve removed that part, or the link to your blog, but it’s gone (in retrospect, maybe it was because I used the word ‘badass’?). I know you go out of your way to help other women, & that you don’t always get the credit you deserve, so I’m having a WTF moment for you-I’m so sorry. I do appreciate all your support and advice over the summer. That was a truly crappy situation, and you were my one and only cheerleader there for a while. So, since you don’t hear it enough, THANK YOU! You are an amazing, inspiring person who works very hard, not only for her own family, but to educate, empower, and advocate for others.
Excellent news for that mother. But some people are so classless… Oh well. At least I’m helping women.

But then this happened, and darkness crawled across the land.
