[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 758758, member: 1233"] I am sorry that your son was traumatized. I hope you can get help in working this out. One thing that may help is setting a timer for him to go to the bathroom every 1-2 hours. It isn't meant as a punishment (stop your game/show/play and sit on the potty), but to help his body get used to eliminating at regular intervals. He won't want to stop what he is doing to keep going to the bathroom. I would probably read to him on the potty if he was mine. Maybe get a special book that you only read while he is on the toilet? Maybe a book of 5 minute stories? They have them for all sorts of topics - dinosaurs, firemen, fairy tales, etc.... A google search should help you find a book like that. Here is a link to some of them on amazon [URL="https://www.amazon.com/s?k=5+minute+stories+for+children&i=digital-text&crid=1A0AQ7Q2J2NXB&sprefix=5+minute%2Cdigital-text%2C264&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_8"]Amazon.com : 5 minute stories for children[/URL] . If he prefers to draw, keep a whiteboard and markers or paper and crayons in the bathroom. I know, it sounds strange, but you want to reward him for using the potty.
