Summary

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions, and we have a bunch of FAMILY questions today! What should you do if your friend of 15 years suddenly blocks you—seemingly over a DM with the "wrong" emoji?? If your husband's bestie-turned-family-friend commits an unforgivable sin and betrays the whole family, is it better to forgive or to cut ties? If you regularly complain about your in-laws with your sister-in-law's husband, is that overstepping and boundary? Finally, what to do about the Chatty Cathy in your life that just WILL NOT STOP TALKING?? Come join us in our living room for good conversation and the Shandy take!
