[QUOTE="SageCupCake, post: 276666, member: 7492"] I could have written this post 10 years ago. I remember the frustration, the anger that he just didn't care. The embarrassment of being the smelly kids mom. He also was never completely potty trained it seemed. At 21 my son no longer smells (well not like poo anyway). He worked it out on his own. Nothing that I did seemed to help, certainly not getting angry and trying to control it. I have to say the turning point for us came when I had access to the internet and a wealth of information about encopresis. When I figured out that it was the same for others and that it wasn't just my son being defiant. I was able to let go of the anger and frustration. I dealt with it the same as I would any other illness. I don't know if it was that or him maturing but it just gradually went away. Now it is just a bad memory...but for me the worst part is my reactions. I wish I had had more support and information to start with. With that in mind I send you hugs and an open ear and a soft shoulder. This too shall pass. I know from where you sit it may not seem that way but hopefully soon you will be looking back on this as just another blip on the radar of life. [/QUOTE]
