Mid-Life Limbo Lodger

(n.) An adult adrift between independence and inertia — an ex-partner or adult child who lingers in someone else’s home long past the natural checkout date. Financially able but bureaucratically or emotionally paralyzed.

“She could move out anytime, but her credit report’s a blank page. Classic mid-life limbo lodger.”
