When should I try to have a conversation about this again?
Back in September my dad got out of prison on parole. He molested my child when he was 13 back in May of 2021. Was supposed to serve 8 years. He served 3. My son is 16 now and he was doing okay but is struggling again. I had walked in on my father molesting my kid. I was waking my son up to use the bathroom because he randomly started peeing in his sleep and I walked in to that. Over the years in therapy my son expressed that he felt I was smothering him and being overprotective so I've tried to lay off. He started back up his accidents again and first time I tried to talk to him about it he blew up on me. I have put him back in therapy but I'm trying to respect his wishes and back off. I did go out a mattress protector on his bed while he was at school. It's been 3 months now since my dad was released. We luckily have a restraining order. But in those 3 months he's maybe been dry 10x and even with the mattress protector his room smells. I've also been informed of panic attacks at school. When should I finally try to talk about this again?
