On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• Your father sexually abused your half-sister decades ago, yet she's now cozying up to him while treating you like the enemy. She screams at her kids, won't get therapy, and your mom keeps pushing reconciliation. At what point does trauma stop being an excuse?
• Your best friend of 20 years kept hanging out with your ex after the breakup — even during your mental health recovery period. When you objected, he basically told you to suck it up. Now she's invited to his annual badminton tournament and you're questioning everything about friendship.
• You spent $30k on a master's degree but can't pursue new opportunities because your boyfriend keeps getting rejected from game development jobs. You agreed he'd find work first before moving, but his confidence is crumbling. How long do you wait for someone else's career?
• Recommendation of the Week: Have ChatGPT (or your AI of choice) optimize the timing of your vitamins and meds for maximum efficacy.
• Your chaotic childhood with hoarder parents led you to interior design, but now unemployment has you questioning everything. Is your passion for organized spaces a genuine calling or just psychological housekeeping?
