On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• You fell for a charismatic nomad with a troubled past who seemed healthy when you met, but he's spiraled into cocaine addiction, extreme paranoia, and concerning behaviors like threatening violence against imagined rivals. He suspects you're cheating when you eat ice cream too quickly (!), and you're wondering how to help without enabling. Can love survive such toxic suspicion?
• You're a manager who's been secretly placed on a team that will reduce the workforce by 50%, all while your company celebrates record profits and expects you to share this good news with employees. You've signed a confidentiality agreement but worry about betraying the trust you've built. How do you sleep at night knowing what's coming?
• Your lifelong best friend is experiencing a series of legitimate crises and you've been their primary support. Their problems have become "life or death" situations that leave your nervous system shot and recovery time non-existent. You want to help without completely burning out. Is there a middle ground between abandonment and self-sacrifice?
• You've been thrust into managing contracts and vendor relationships after layoffs, despite having no procurement background. The workload has exploded, you're drowning in unfamiliar terminology, and fear asking too many questions might get you fired. With your husband unemployed, quitting isn't an option. How do you fake it until you make it?
• Recommendation of the Week: Quest Protein Chips
• Your adult children have moved 1,700 miles away to states with more affordable housing, leaving you grief-stricken despite their success. You've always been devoted to your own parents and expected the same in return, but now face the prospect of aging without nearby support. How do you reconcile your expectations with their independence?
