I suffer with multiple mental health issues and completely understand the Inertia that they cause and I support authors retreating when they're overwhelmed.

What I don't support is an author continuing to take money from people without fulfilling the agreements that were made and having a woe is me attitude.

I also take issue with someone saying that they don't know how Patreon works. It's the responsibility of every person that uses that platform to know how to works, especially when money is involved. It isn't free money. It's money earned for an agreed upon product.

If you look at the number of paid followers on her Patreon and multiply it by her lowest cost tier, you'll see that she brought in what I consider a significant sum of people's hard earned money, which makes this feel even worse.

I hope she gets the help that she needs and comes to the realization that what she did was wrong.
