On This Week's Feedback Friday:- Your wife was diagnosed with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia at 43, causing major personality changes. She now has delusions and aggression towards you. As her caregiver and husband, how do you cope with this devastating situation while maintaining your own well-being?
- You're a 31-year-old woman who's never dated before. You recently connected with a guy over intellectual discussions, but he suddenly cut off contact as you were preparing to move away. How do you process this confusing experience and move forward?
- You run a multi-million dollar tech startup and have encountered various scams, including a suspicious investment offer and fake job applicants. How do you protect your company from these threats while still pursuing growth opportunities? [Thanks to former FBI special agent Kevin Barrows and former FBI Behavioral Analysis Program head Robin Dreeke for helping us with this one!]
- Jordan explains his cosleeping arrangement with Jen and and their two young children. What led them to choose this unconventional setup, and what advice does he have for other parents considering cosleeping?
- Recommendation of the Week: TableTopics
- You're dealing with a messy divorce involving child support disputes and potential perjury by your ex-wife. Do you pursue legal action that could seriously affect her, or take the financial hit to maintain a civil co-parenting relationship? [Thanks — once again — to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this one!]
