I lost followers when I reviewed a book for transgendered parents to explain transitioning to their children…gained a few too. I lost a follower after that for posting a Pagan house cleansing ritual.

I don’t even worry about my followers anymore, I just worry about making good content. As long as it’s read, I don’t worry about the exact people reading it. I’m very glad for readers that stay, but I accept that not all people will be happy with me for all things I post, especially considering I’m a fairly chaotic writer.

You really do need a thick skin online, it’s crazy.

I would touch on everything else, but I understand keeping things off the comments. I will say that CPS handled the case poorly if they continued after finding out your father was deaf.
