It's fine as long as you know the strain you put on the author, it's a both wonderful and terrible profession being an author. It's understandable the strain in your life right now, but you want people to talk to you without thinking 'will this hurt the person?' and not talking to you straight.
It's fine, I love reading as well! But feedback is always welcome to anybody, and telling them if you want a little bit more fluff or seriousness is fine, as long as it isn't a flame without a reason (god I hate them) and even if you don't have much imagination, write away your troubles in a Word Document then delete it. It's better than holding it all in.
Family issues? Remember: It's always darkest before dawn, and that holding it all in isn't healthy nor does it heal the wound, time does not either. There is always more pain before it heals. I can attest to that with confidence.
If your boyfriend didn't help you cope with your family issues, then he wouldn't have stayed long anyway. Putting you two as a couple under pressure is a surefire way to know if you two truly love each other.
If he cracked under the pressure, it wouldn't have worked out anyway. If he stayed, you found a good person to be your boyfriend.
...I'm giving you advice when I don't have much experience, nor do I have a boyfriend right now...what am I doing?
If you feel like you need good advice, go onto google and search out quotes, I think I gave decent advice...not sure though.
Life has it's sunshine and thunderstorms, just find family and a guy who would hold up that umbrella even in hail and frost.
