Note to all: for anyone who wants to help women who truly have been traumatized by sexual/physical/emotional abuse, go donate to your local women's shelter or rape counseling center. Those kind of worthy outfits always need financial assistance. Instead of getting all sappy over the story of some poker scene huster which has a high probability of either not being totally true or brought on themselves by hanging with scummy people in the hopes of getting money off them.

I already have donated to womens shelters.
The problem is you're being so harsh to someone that appears to be having some real problems right now.
Now whether her story is 100% true or not I don't know. But when someone is talking about being suicidal IMHO you should give them the benefit of the doubt. If the story is all BS then so be it. But if it is true wouldn't you feel just a little bit bad for contributing to her depression?
In the company I work for I have about 50-60 drivers that are under my supervision. There have been times a driver calls in saying he can't come to work because a family member has died (or serious illness). Even if I suspect they're being something other than truthful I let them off. Because if I call them on it and they're right I end up looking like a true douchebag.
I don't want to sit here and tell you how much of a jerk you are..because I don't like to argue. There's a chance you're totally right. But imagine the possible consequences if you're wrong.
