Dear Dr. Chloe,

We are a married couple whose adult child has been living with us due to financial problems related to credit card debt he is still paying off from his early 20s.  While we want to help, we also notice he is making purchases we consider to be frivolous.  We have tried to discuss our concerns with him, but he just gets angry and says we are being unsupportive.
