Dear John: Do not listen to Dave. Treating a 36-year-old person—who's just lost his business, exhausted his financial resources, can't find a job, has run out of time, and has to move back in with his parents—like a naughty teenager who's dragging his "sewage" home with him is quite possibly the worst conceivable approach. Negotiate boundaries with him like the adult that he is, and have high expectations for his future to which he can live up to. Your son will thank you. Love, Liss.
