On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• Your teenage brother has gone from healthy political curiosity to spouting antisemitic talking points and binging alt-right influencers. You're his cool big sister — but you moved across the country, and the window of influence is closing fast. How do you pull him back before it's too late?
• Your former mother-in-law is elderly, broke, and living with an ex-husband who steals from her and destroys her belongings. Her own sons won't lift a finger. She's made you — her ex-daughter-in-law — the executor of her estate. How far does your obligation really go here?
• You're 16 and you keep zoning out — during lessons, video calls, even just sitting still — making weird facial expressions and missing entire conversations. It's affecting your schoolwork and your social life. What's going on, and what can you actually do about it?
• Recommendation of the Week: The "reduce interruptions" focus mode on Mac and iPhone — a middle ground between Do Not Disturb and chaos that lets the right people reach you while filtering out the noise. There seem to be comparable settings for Android users.
• You trusted your manager as a mentor for years — until a combative team lead falsely accused you in a heated meeting, then complained to your manager first. Now your manager is siding with the complaints instead of hearing you out. Can this relationship — and your standing — be salvaged?
