I’ve noticed that many books are poorly written, as if everyone and their mother has suddenly decided to become a writer. I’ve now experienced this too often where I read a book that has a childish writing style, as if my neighbor’s daughter wrote an essay.
How do you experience this? Who are actually somewhat high-quality writers?

An ex of a family member had a breakdown after the relationship ended, engaged in self-harm, had a short hospital admission, and is now receiving intensive home treatment. The family keeps insisting on having a “closure conversation,” but my fm does not want any contact. They claim that the ex-partner’s care providers want this. Isn’t this just emotional manipulation? How to cope with feeling guilty about having boundaries instead of being mad at them for pushing over those boundaries?
