On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:

• You're torn between confronting your abusive father about the violence he inflicted on you and your siblings growing up (which he now denies ever happened) or staying silent to protect your inheritance — money that could secure your daughter's future. He has a business worth over a million dollars and plenty of assets, but he's threatened to write people out of his will for far less. How do you balance authenticity with practicality?
• As head of technology, you championed a vendor partnership that turned out to be a disaster. They misrepresented key elements, costs are rising, and you've lost control of critical infrastructure. The worst part? You might be stuck with them for three to five years. While your CEO and board remain supportive, you're drowning in shame, dreading meetings, and questioning your leadership. How do you move forward?
• You're a disciplined 32-year-old investor who allocated over $8,000 to a real estate crowdfunding platform that has ghosted its investors. The company appears insolvent, withholding dividends and refusing to refund invested capital. Though the amount won't significantly impact you financially, the principle bothers you deeply. What options do you have for recovering your funds? [Thanks to bankruptcy attorney Erin Hoskins for helping us with this one!]
• Your 70-year-old fiercely independent mother is showing concerning signs of decline — forgetting bills, ignoring serious home issues, and recently was found driving her car in the wrong direction 40 minutes from home. You live in Florida while she's in rural Canada, and your sister nearby has her hands full. What legal options and practical measures can you take to keep her safe? [Thanks to senior services expert Pam Dukes for lending her expertise to this one!]
• Recommendation of the Week: RippedBody.com
• Two years ago, you survived a suicide attempt following your wife's affair and abandonment. Since then, therapy and new relationships have transformed your life. On the first anniversary, you celebrated with the few people who knew about the attempt. Now approaching year two, you're wondering: should you expand this celebration to include new friends? Is this strange to commemorate?
