We are coming up on our 7 year anniversary with our son. I'm not going to kid you, it has been a LONG, HARD road with him, and puberty is a nightmare, but we are seeing progress.

We did attachment therapy for a couple of years, and still go back for "tune ups", we are now working on a bio-medical route after discovering some other issues.

It really will get better. Right now he is the closest to "normal" he has ever been. Last weekend he had a friend invite him to spend the night at his house. This is a first for him. A couple of times he spent the night as part of a group of kids for a birthday party, but had never been invited on his own. It is a MAJOR accomplishment.

As for potty training, let it go for a while. It could be just regular kid stuff, or it could be a control battle. If it's a control issue, she's getting exactly what she wants from you.
