Publically and condescendingly berating a (presumably) grown man in front of his entire family, infantilizing him and the crypto thing, the little power demonstration with the drinks, getting everyone to laugh at the poor jobless bastard?
Not sure how wholesome that seems to me. Chewing someone out in public, especially at dinner, is asshole behavior. Being overbearingly “positive” about it on the surface doesn’t really help.
If I’m going to work every day to support your fat lazy adult ass while you blow money on jpgs of monkeys I’m within my rights to bust your balls about it and you’re lucky I haven’t thrown you out and turned your basement into a home gym

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.
Because feeding their depression is the best way to fix the problem.
If he believes it’s his parents job to fix him that’s about 75% of the problem right there
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?
