Well, as you know, I read the same article and have a very different take on it as I know she is a single mother, has struggled mightily through many issues in life, and thus read the article through a different lens than you. What you took as judgment and attacking others I took as frustration and a cry for help. I had hoped you would consult the AAs as they often see all sides of matters and likely if you had read the story while in channel they might have seen it differently than you and expressed compassion for her situation while also expressing support for all the single mothers out there and perhaps also they might have addressed the societal issues that result in single-parent homes that the writer refers to that she feels get overlooked in single mother stories.

Even after I clarified for you the situation 90 minutes before you published it, you didn't come alter the manner by which you rage and attack at the start of this article. While I understand why you reacted the way you did, I don't understand the complete lack of compassion after I clarified the situation, and assuming that you didn't see my email clarifying the situation before you published it, why when you did see my note, which you acknowledged, that you didn't then pull, revise, and republish.

Moreover, some of your article reads like perseverance porn. I succeeded and others succeeded, so you can and should too. https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/what-is-perseverance-porn-and-why-do-we-fall-for-it-7ef190d0ff13
