My six year old keeps defecating himself, after months of being potty trained. His father and I are in the (months long) process of separating so I'm pretty sure it's to do with this. ds is currently living mostly with me in the family home. I have a new bf who has met a couple of times, but knows only as my friend. His dad and he are close and I think he misses him a lot but still sees him - twice a week at the moment, and overnight - but that will eventually be joint custody. ds doesn't like 'emotional' conversations, so it's hard to find out exactly what is going on, and I suspect he doesn't understand himself. Tonight I was angry with him, because he did it twice, within an hour, ruining his clothes, needing two baths...I'm sure that isn't the right approach and I feel very guilty about it. Any advice appreciated.
