One particularly dangerous failure mode is that people may lose the capacity to recognize when the situation is toxic, unhealthy or counter-productive. The sunk cost fallacy is a powerful thing, as are the effects of strong emotional attachment. You may want to consider having a mandatory short vacation period from the house. This will allow people to take some space to get perspective on the house.
You also may want to mandate external social supports such as therapy, external friend groups, etc.

Agree. I think there are ways to do this without making it seem scary or unnatural, like “everyone visits family for a week around Thanksgiving”.
This seems entirely sensible. We’ve already decided to institute the outside friend check-in, and occasional vacation is an obvious extension of that.
