[QUOTE="Betty B, post: 618985, member: 17641"] oh man. so glad to see people writing. :) it helps. A few of you have asked what else is going on w SS15. He's had ADD all his life. He failed 7th grade. So this year is his first year getting back in the saddle and doing better in school. Through our marriage counselor, and some of our discussions...it truly suspect there is more going on than just ADD. He does other quirky things like hoard food in odd places. Steals from my girls...weird stuff like ribbons and toys he's far too old to play with. He's also compulsive. steals money from my purse...from the kids' piggy banks. He's not so great with cleanliness. ie brushing teeth, showering....he wears the same clothing over and over. He has a crappy mom. and sometimes he makes me uncomfortable looking for that kind of affection she doesn't give him....GROAN. I know that sounds horrible, but I can't possibly find it appropriate to spoon with a 15 year old boy that's not my bio son. Even if it WAS my bio son....that's a bit odd. Our therapist wants to refer SS for psychiatric. Claims that yes, encopresis can't be helped, but his lack of caring about it is not age-normal. it SHOULD bother him though i know a lot of kids with encopresis use a lot of denial to avoid facing the facts. He does have a friend. ... He insists no one knows he has an issue, though i can't see how that's possibly the case. He doesn't do normal things....like go to the movies or anything. he's very into hunting and obsessed with duck dynasty even tho we live in the city! i don't know. All i can do is wait and see if the physical therapy they prescribed for him and getting his pooping muscles back in shape will work. Me a husband fought about it again tonite. SS had an incident on the bus. INstead of him addressing his son. he left to go party it up at a friends' house. This sucks. :( [/QUOTE]
