Set Clear Financial Boundaries
- Set a firm financial boundary with parents: state you're an adult paying rent and won't be an endless fund.
- Ask for a sit-down meeting and state your desired outcome clearly before the conversation.
Have The Honest Outcome Conversation
- Tell your dad the outcome you want: that you need him alive and healthy for your future family and plans.
- Be prepared he may refuse change and plan to protect your own future if he does.
