Hi, I'm not sure this is posted in the right section but I'm at my wits end with everything at the moment. I've never used a forum before so please be kind! I feel like there is no one I can really talk to as nobody really understands and to some level this includes my husband. My four year old daughter has been toilet trained for two years but only really for wee as she holds her poo in and has done now pretty much for two years. Her behaviour is awful a lot of the time and she is very controlling, particularly around me. She refuses to talk about why she holds her poo in and we are currently waiting for a paediatrics appointment. She constantly has poo coming out and she seems unaware. It has such a huge impact on our family as she refuses to do so much i.e sitting at dinner table, sitting on toilet, having a bath, family days out or meals out will be ruined as she is uncomfortable and then wants to go home. She wants to lay down all the time so she can make the poo go away. I do get frustrated with her and my husband gets cross with me but he isn't dealing with it day in day out as she will only allow me to deal with it. I work full time and have a one year old too, I'm so tired and feeling very low in myself because of everything. Just don't know where to turn. Thank you for listening.
