Summary

Regularly scheduled Q and A for this Friday:

1. After three years together and a rocky but ultimately successful journey to engagement, a fiancé's struggle with alcoholism threatens to unravel their lives. Despite periods of sobriety and committed efforts to mend their bond, her relapse into drinking and dangerous behavior poses serious risks. Is it possible to salvage a relationship overshadowed by addiction, and how do you approach such a delicate and distressing situation?

2. What are the ethics and effectiveness of off-the-books imprisonment and interrogation methods? Is there a place for unconventional tactics in ensuring national security, or do these practices undermine the moral standards we strive to uphold as Americans?
