To feel very uncomfortable about this Guardian article?

Front page of the 'Family' section. A grandfather talking about his 21 yo granddaughter who has just committed suicide.

It just doesn't feel real. Could it be some sort of exercise in writing the most unsympathetic narrator ever?

I usually regard myself as articulate but I found it very awkward to read so I'm glad I wasn't the only one!

I'm not sure what to make of this. At the start of the article I was thinking, 'this guy seems angry'. But then I understood a little of what he was trying to get across. Although, I find the tone of the article oddly detached from feeling. Perhaps Emma did have a will to self-destruction in her eating disorder she was manipulative and difficult. I think I need to read it again.
