Yep, I do. she's 20 and bi-polar. She doesn't just push my buttons, she jumps up and down on them.

Hey, join with us other parents and you will wonder why you didn't flush the little monster. Kids love doing that to parents and most families need to live away from their kids or they will drive us insane. My son is older than yours and it got so bad, I moved to a different continent to avoid the stress. However a few tips, first don't coddle him for doing his job, second make him responsible for his own mistakes, third, don't have him live with you....no matter how much you love him, cut the cord and let him stand or fall on his own....sounds rough but it got to be done. My son was involved with a woman (she had three kids) and I tried to talk some sense into him...another child...messy domestic problems....but he could run home to Daddy....I finally said the hell with this....I live in China...he's in Florida...do I feel bad? Yes, but I am not going to be able to solve his problems.

Yes we have one that is 42!! He's been married 3 times. His third wife walked out on him after 4 months into the marriage. Don't think it was all his fault though. He is trying to turn his life around, so hang in there :>)

Yup very common. Mine's 24 and said FU last Christmas. Last time I've heard from her. At least yours is still pushing the buttons.

At age 24, he shouldn't even be around enough to drive you crazy. Tell him to go get his own place and then have visits. He is driving you crazy, because you raised him and you are seeing him too much. Absence makes the heart grow fonder (as I am sure you know already)

Mine is older than yours. He had a "breakdown" due to alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Now he lives off me. It costs $$$.
