[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 546630, member: 1550"] Peeing CAN be caused by sexual abuse. How well do you know this stepmother? Is your ex in any way a possible abuser? Sounds like the issue is HIM if he was perfect and then suddenly started acting out as soon as father came back into the picture. Did your son have a chaotic early life, such as infancy and toddlerhood? Was he handed back and forth to different people or did his father come and go? This can affect a child's ability to attach. And his behavior could reflect an attachment issue as well. Can you tell us a bit about his early development? Can your son make friends with his same age peers? Does he know how to relate to them? Does he make good eye contact? Really, some of his behavior is scary (cutting the clothes). I would take him to a neuropsychologist, not a counselor, to have him intensively tested. They are both psychologists and also have gone for extra schooling to learn about brain disorders (mental illness) and in my opinion are the best diagnosticians. They can do up to ten hours of serious testing. This is the very first thing I would do. Obviously, there is something that bothers him about his father's house and maybe it is stepmother. No matter how nice she is to you, you don't know what she is really like. And you don't know what goes on with Father either. Are the step siblings older and possibly abusive? Do you know them? A neuropsychologist would be good at getting these issues out of him. Some kids act out rather than tell what is bothering them. HUgs and welcome to our board :) [/QUOTE]
