When I was in treatment for my eating disorder in the beginning level one
they had locks on the bathrooms and we had to have nurses go into the
bathrooms with us, but it was their job to teach us what we did not know
how to do, in the end, it was our choice. In treatment there are nurses,
but in the real world there isn't. There is a bathroom every where we go,
that leaves us choices.
You can teach him to a point, but you can't keep locks on the doors forever,
he has to make choices for himself. If you don't start to give him choices
for himself he's not going to learn to how to make them or gain the confidence
that he needs to make them.
