844: Dropping the Bomb: His Sister's His Mom | Feedback Friday

59 minutes

Your family tree has a few branches that are a little more entwined than most — outside of old-world royalty and down-home banjo duelists. You happen to know a particularly dark secret about a troubled cousin's parentage, but you're wondering if telling him would be helpful or hurtful. What should you do? We'll try to find answers to this and more here on Feedback Friday!

And in case you didn't already know it, Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger) and Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) banter and take your comments and questions for Feedback Friday right here every week! If you want us to answer your question, register your feedback, or tell your story on one of our upcoming weekly Feedback Friday episodes, drop us a line at [email protected]. Now let's dive in!

On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

Would it be helpful or hurtful to disclose an incestuous family secret to the cousin it most affects?

You've been deemed "unfit for duty" after attempting suicide. While you consider yourself lucky to be alive, you're wondering how to get a new job — and maintain insurance to cover meds and the help you need — with this on your record.

Your fiancée's ongoing involvement with a "business" contact feels a lot like an emotional affair — something you endured in a past relationship and aren't eager to repeat. How do you address this before trust in your betrothed has irrevocably eroded?

How do you help your mother move on from the death of your father when she's vehemently opposed to the idea of therapy? [This segment is sponsored by BetterHelp. Big thanks to Haesue Jo, Head of Clinical Operations at BetterHelp!]

When traveling, what is the most tactful way to tell someone in a neighboring seat that their disgusting habits are unacceptable?
