[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 518753, member: 455"] hound - we have thought about the fetish aspect, like perhaps cross dressing because once, and only once, we did find a old velvet dress of my oldest in his room (though again, never found that he had put it on). But hey, it's ok, it it's going to be his thing then so be it. I'm just more concerned of something sinister in the making as I'm aware of another difficult child that started out on a small scale like this and later in life it grew into something very bad and now, well let's just say the end is not good. I want to be aware so I can do what I can, if I can should that be the case. I don't know that it is so I just keep a watchful eye to help protect any and all involved (whether it's himself from potential bullying or others if it's something else). stressed- we've told him to sit, he won't. As for the material, most of them tend to actually be scratchy (at least to me) so I don't think that's it.
