I am thinking of making my blog private. I hate to do that, but I am so tired of receiving comments from my brother about crap. And the comments I receive from my brother I do not publish and I just kind of hold their contents inside. I am starting to feel the pressure from holding all his nasty comments inside and I need to do something to stop it.
I know there are readers that do not comment, but I need to know if I made this blog private how many of you would still read it.
Please leave me a comment to let me know if you would still read if I made the blog private. It would mean that I would have to have your email in order to have it set up so you could get in.
Just an idea that is floating around in my head....Let me know what you all think.
At some point I need to stop the abuse from my family even if they will not.
Yup, I worry about you and the kitties, I would still read.

I love to read your blog every day
and would like to continue to read.
email: brkittens@sympatico.ca
I would still read and would even promise to call you at 4:30am, even if I don't remember it.
ReplyDeleteyep-- me too. I'd read you. although I don't know how to be un-anonymous...
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I just find it interesting that your family, who has disowned you, really hasn't. They lurk and send you comments. I think they must be pretty malignant narcissists and you're being subjected to their narcissistic rage. To be truly disowned, one should be treated with indifference and ignored-- they apparetnly are incapable of that and see that it is you who has rejected them. I wonder if you couldn't get a restarining order against them or block their IP? One final comment, your brother sounds like the reason why some animals eat their young...
While I haven't left many comments, I am a daily reader too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I would still want to read if you went private. :)
I like what anonymous said!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely keep reading!
Look at all the Caroline-love!! Cool, eh? You can count me in.
ReplyDeleteAnd your brother is a dick.

ReplyDeleteOf Course I would continue to lurk!
ReplyDeleteI am a Canadian lurker and would love to continue reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteOf course I'd still read this here blog. . .
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think you are kinda letting him win if you succumb to the pressure. Just because he says something certainly doesn't make it true or relevant, right?
I would!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you know I would still read. Go private if that will help you. He is harassing you, you know.
ReplyDeleteI would read your blog and share my e-mail.

ReplyDeleteYou need to do what ever you can to protect yourself emotionally, and if making your blog private helps do it. My sincere sympathies for the angst your family is causing.
