On This Week's Feedback Friday:

Gabe makes his own deodorant from a secret family recipe, because of course he does!
Think you've heard a problem solved here that sounds a little too familiar? We promise our dooze is crafted 100% fresh despite being bound by the mundanity of the human condition.
Your brother destroyed your family with false accusations, your dad died by suicide, and now you're terrified of having kids because what if they inherit the same darkness? You're caught between wanting a biological child and fearing you'll create another monster. Can you break the cycle, or are some genes just too dangerous to pass on?
You got into grad school in Texas — a dream come true! But your boyfriend's parents are treating your exciting move like you're literally kidnapping their son to a foreign war zone. They won't even look at you anymore, and suddenly family dinners feel like hostage negotiations. How do you chase your dreams when love feels like betrayal?
A debt collector is hunting you for money you don't owe, for a person you're not, living at an address you've never seen. They won't answer calls, won't stop emailing, and threaten to destroy your credit score over someone else's Verizon bill. Can you escape this Kafkaesque nightmare before it ruins your financial future?
You landed your dream law school acceptance, but your timing couldn't be worse — budget cuts are coming, and your departure will leave your beloved colleagues scrambling. They threw you a surprise bridal shower, and now you have to break their hearts with your secret. How do you chase your future without burning bridges to your past?
Recommendation of the Week: Never dumping medication in the toilet or sink!
Your meth-head ex-husband can't even manage to pay child support — his mommy does it for him. When she apologized for being late this month, you couldn't resist a snarky dig about whose responsibility it really is. Your own mother says you were rude, but shouldn't deadbeat dads face consequences? When does gratitude become enabling?
