Yeah, I've tried talking to him about it. A few times. But all I get is monsters. He'll go out & play in the dark on the trampoline no worries though. Its day & night he says he is scared & that to me is really odd. He used to go day or night, as long as the light was on, no worries.

The gp didn't really say or explain anything. I think he's just hoping if there is something going on the laxatives will clear it & the problem might sort itself out. But when he does go to the toilet everything looks normal. Nothing loose/hard etc. All seem completely normal.

I think its all psychological as well. I just don't know what or why?

And no, the counsellor hasn't spoken to him. And that's what I've been after from the start. Someone to talk to DS & see how he's going inside. Someone who's not me. But I think she is just trying to figure out exactly where the problem area's are before seeing him.

The other counsellor DCP is sending out might be able to talk to him. I see her on Friday afternoon.
