On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• On a previous Feedback Friday (episode 1274, question two), your fiancé wrote in about not being invited to his stepbrother's wedding, and now you're here to share your side. A botched haircut from your best-friend-turned-hairdresser, an explosive bachelorette trip exit, and a friendship that's been unraveling for years — all of it now rippling into your future family. Were you justified in blocking her, or did that make everything worse?
• Your in-laws overstep every boundary you set, your father-in-law has a history of physical abuse, and your mother-in-law calls your infant son names — then cries when you push back. Your husband's in therapy but can't yet see his parents clearly, and you're left feeling like the only one protecting your child. How do you keep your son safe without losing your marriage in the process?
• You're a listener who noticed that the show tends to steer people away from religious therapists — and you're calling Gabe and Jordan out on it. After hearing their advice to a Christian woman who'd had an abortion, you want to know: is there an anti-religion bias at play, or is there a deeper rationale behind the recommendation to seek help outside one's faith community?
• Recommendation of the Week: Gabe recommends Briggs & Riley luggage — a solid mid-tier brand with smart design, smooth rolling, and a lifetime guarantee that covers free repairs at any affiliated retailer or ships you the parts and tools anywhere in the world.
• You're 28, about to defend your PhD, newly sober, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and fresh off a divorce and three miscarriages — and for the first time in your life, you're not sure academia is your path anymore. You missed the window for job applications, you might have to move back to Canada, and you don't even know who you are now that you're finally clear-headed. How do you "find yourself" when you don't know what you're looking for?
