[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 527133, member: 3419"] Hi Single-Dad. Welcome. I am so sorry for all of your troubles. I can surely imagine the looks you get going into a bathroom stall together! Makes you want to put a sign on your son's back! I agree with-the others, that he's got more going on, emotionally and physically. I would also suggest that the diaper issue is not only fear, but control, as you have pretty much figured out. It's going to be a long road, but you'll get there. I think it's a good thing that he's very dependent upon you and think it's just a stage ... he may be regressing to get a hold on all of the stages he missed as an infant and toddler. No fun at this age, for sure. You can work on that with-the therapist. j I would also suggest changing his diet, it you haven't already. No gluten, no milk/dairy. It's expensive to buy rice bread ($6 a loaf) but it will be worth it for all of the time you save not having to clean up all the time. Also, isn't he on some calming medications for his colitis? I agree with-FamilyMum, take care of yourself, too. [/QUOTE]
