I'm going to be harsh. Please don't take it personally, my perspective is obviously limited. I'd think 1.5 years of unemployment, being broke and a failed start-up would make you more humble. Yet everyone else seems to be the problem. Your parents don't understand, fellow business owners don't understand, no one understands your fabulous planning, no one has your passion, ... Have you looked for work? Applied to jobs? Since you don't mention any of it, I get the sense that you wouldn't consider a minimum wage job at a restaurant or retail or something like that. Shame on you, man up, man has to feed his family. Also, you should be nicer to your parents. Read point #3 again, and it almost sounds like you are describing yourself. Negative about everything? Not planning for the future? Refusing to accept change is needed? That's you! This is what you do: You check your ego at the door, get a job, and take pride that you are helping your family out. While people are watching their TV (which you have contempt for, even though they've done more than you have in the last 1.5 years), you regain your passion and try again. It's simple.
