Bathroom issues cont'd!

[Guest guest]

Well unfortunately the bathroom issues we've been having with my son are not

just limited to home. I took him to see his therapist on Monday afternoon. The

therapist emailed me to say that after we left he had gone in the bathroom, the

lights were out and there was pee all over the toilet seat and on the floor. At

home, my son refuses to turn on the lights to use the bathroom and sometimes

won't bother lifting the seat, which results in the obvious. But I never thought

he'd do something like this out in public, especially in a restroom out in the

hallway of an office building, not like it was a private restroom inside an

office, but even then.

Then last night, my husband found poop all over the toilet seat. Why? My son

said he had to go really bad but did it standing up, in the dark of course!! I

don't recall if I posted about what happened on Tuesday, but I found that he had

pooped in a paper towel in the dining room, threw it in the garbage in the

garage and left soiled paper towels he had wiped himself with on the dining room

floor and in the kitchen trash can!!

I've contacted the head of his school to let her know what is going on because

I'm now concerned he may be leaving messes in the bathroom at school as well.

It's a really small private school and the bathrooms are just one stall or

urinal inside of a locked door.

The biggest dilemma with all of this is that he just plain does not care,

period. He basically shrugs his shoulders and that's that. However, I do think

he'll care when the therapist confronts him on what happened at his office, but

I'm sure he'll give all sorts of bs excuses as to why that happened. The

therapist is going to also bring up what's been happening at home with the

bathroom, so I'm hoping this will help to minimize occurrences moving forward.

To have an almost 16 year old teenager doing this sort of thing is beyond

upsetting and frustrating. If he were walking around in a catatonic state or

otherwise seriously impaired, then of course it would be understandable, but

that is absolutely not the case.

I pray that 's has an opening asap, they keep telling me " a few more weeks "

and he's been on the wait list since mid November!!
