[QUOTE="Star*, post: 151955, member: 4964"] Hi and welcome, Enuresis is a pain. My son was encopretic for YEARS. And we, like you did all the doctors, testing, etc. And we went further with retro-potty training at least 2 or 4 times. No matter what we did with the pooping of his pants, when he was angry and anyone he would poop on demand in his pants and sit in it, hide his underwear (as if I didn't have a Mom nose) and leave it in the tub, his room it was awful. He even hid soiled underwear at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) - they would take his underpants and give him ONE pair and he could have a fresh pair when he gave them his clean ones - and he was handing in OTHER kids' clean underwear he stole. I figured it out when he got a home visit and had someone elses underwear on - and I washed his clothes. So then they marked them and he found a marker and marked OTHER kids' underwear. At that point - they gave up and told me he'd just have to grow out of it. The smell, the aggrivation, the money I spent in lysol, gloves, hand sanitizer, sprays, pills, Tide, Borax, washing HIS clothes twice and then washing the washer out with bleach, Mirlax you name it ? I could have had a newer car. What I do understand about bodily functions and for my son was that he was abused. And this is how he had control over the one thing in his life that NO ONE could tell him when, how, here, there, no, yes. If it's not a medical problem it IS a control issue with her. And the more big of a deal you make out of it - the WORSE it will get. Even if you stop paying her attention and have her clean it up? She's still going to do it. So be prepared for that. Which is about as much fun as eating uncooked spaghetti. She most certainly needs a complete psycho. battery of tests and in my humble opinion observation away from you by a really good clinical psychiatrist and some psychiatric. nurses and staff. I'm adopted myself and can tell you that there is SO much that goes on behind the scenes in your head over/because of being adopted that you don't even know about or can do nothing about. I was in my 30's before a therapist helped me understand that. A good book to read is Primal Scream. As far as her enuresis? Put plastic on her bed, mattress, and get a light blanket that you can wash easily daily. 20 muleteam borax helps with the smell. As far as peeing on the carpet? Take it out of her room and replace it with linoleum. Easier to keep clean. Short term goals and rewards for days of dryness. And instead of a punitive punishment for urination - address the problem by saying very little. Does she do it an then scream things like "How do you like that?" or does she just do it and sneak it? I'm wondering if you cut out all drinks but milk, real juice and water -and had her drink LOADS of stuff so she has to pee a lot if that would help her at all? Star [/QUOTE]
