Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thank you for the replies to my e-mail. I sent it out last night and looked forward to reading them this morning. In fact, I cried as I read them. It's such an emotional time in our lives and its nice to know we're not alone. Last night was a tough one. My son usually gets up around 11 PM each night to go through a series of bathroom rituals which takes at least a half hour. He will use up to a whole roll of bathroom tissue in the process, which leads to having to scoop out all of the tissue from the toilet before it can be flushed. Last night I left him a " normal " amount of toilet paper and took all the rest of the tissue out of the bathroom. When he realized that was all the tissue in the bathroom, he got so mad and would not quit yelling. I know when he's tired it's not a good time to interfere with his rituals but how do we get started otherwise? My dd who is 6 is very concerned about her brother and is very aware as to whats going on. I hate that she is getting woke up to. Should I just give in or is there some other approach to take? I told him that tonight we were going to make a definite plan about the toilet paper issue, and he said NO of course. Any ideas? Once again, thank you for your replies. I hope some day I can return the encouraging words to a newcomer. Sincerely, Marcie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
