If he believes it’s his parents job to fix him that’s about 75% of the problem right there

There’s a difference between not helping and actively hurting. “Though love” is just bullshit.

Who says it’s tough love? These are human beings, and they’ve been put in a really frustrating position. Denigrating someone who buys nfts is an appropriate response. Especially if they did it with your money.

That’s what being a parent is about though.

Supporting your children well into adulthood and solving mental issues you’re not qualified to address is a parents job?

Maybe, for some definition of "rights". If doing it in public, it would still 100% make you an asshole no matter how right you were.

Agreed. It sounds like this is a family dinner at home, though. Anons family already know he’s a loser.

My interpretation was this was Christmas dinner, and they had extended family & friends over.
