[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Framing this as only two women pitted against each other completely excuses the wildly inappropriate and unethical organizational behavior at GrubStreet, their mutual employer.

Dorland could be the most annoying, narcissistic person in the world,* but she should still have been ethically treated with dignity when she raised an employment complaint to Grub Street.

At the end of the day, this is in large part an employment matter, and how it was handled by GrubStreet executives is horrifying.

* I don't think she is. I think that description is misogynist. [/quote]

And the flip side is true too. Dorland could be an amazing person with a great personality and an enormous amount of writing talent, but if a group of relatively powerful people in her profession decide she’s terrible, then suddenly she is terrible because she’s now a person who has to overcome this mountain of hatred and dislike.

A therapist once told me that we have to let go of the shame of being needy. My ex had called me needy and it was a huge trigger. But my therapist was like “you’re needy because you need love, support, empathy, and kindness and you’re not getting it! Of course you’re needy.” Like Dawn, I had a rough childhood that left me emotionally disregulated and neglected. I’m sure plenty of people thought I was needy. Because I needed stuff that a lot of people get from birth but I never had.[/quote]
