GM,

My son seems to have reverted back to where he was before, with emphasis on extreme shyness. In social situations where he is not familiar, he is PAINFULLY SHY, and won't even open his mouth, and when he feels put on the spot, his words are rude and angry (he has been a little more outgoing lately, and these are older recurring symptoms) I am still waiting, and wonder if this is part of the healing process.

The causation may have alot to do with having a mother that is so irate and depressed , plus the fact that he knows soon he will no longer be an only child. He is so reactive to MY moods that i feel if i weren't here he would have a totally different personality.
I wonder the nature vs. nurture????

His father and i are both introverted and both have the tendency to be dpressed.

I suspect that homeopathic treatment will help to peel away the layers that he takes on from his surroundings and eventually reveal his true constitution, or true self.
As his teacher referred to him as "pent up"

My heart breaks to see how shy and uncomfortable he can be, and i feel somewhat responsible, as i've made so many mistakes with him (due to my own weaknesses and problems) I wish i could help him.

No change in bowels , many days he tries to go and nothing will come out. His tummy still hurts, esp after eating.

One thing that i should mention is that he REFUSES to use the batheroom in any place except his own house or his one grandparents house (his second home) Yesterday, when at a friends home, he held it is until his pants were wet, and STILL REFUSED to use their bathroom...waited until we reached home. This has been a constant that i forgot to mention.

I just wanted to report this change, i wondered if he could be lycopodium, having had positive results last august to one dose of 1m pot.

Anyways, thank you for your help , I will also moniter the changes he experiences in school- his teacher will be able to help me clarify further,
