🤷 Once you get those answers... let me know. Then I can tell you exactly what to do.👍

Exactly!
Go see your primary care doctor—just have them run some blood work and get a referral to a dermatologist once they have the results.
The root cause could be anything—maybe a vitamin deficiency that can be handled with supplements (which, from what I've seen, works wonders), or perhaps it's weak follicles, testosterone levels, or some other internal process we don't even know about yet. Basically, go get checked out so a professional can tell you WHY this is happening!

Heh, you’d think we were debating high-stakes Washington politics or complex constitutional amendments... 🤣
But honestly, it really is science—fascinating, beautiful science.

I mean, do people actually think you go to an OB-GYN for these kinds of issues?🙂

Wait, what!?! 😵 Honestly, if we're talking about adding just two or three grains of salt to my diet, I wouldn't mind being over-salted one bit... 😁
If you had any actual background in medicine, you'd realize that primary care doctors act as the gatekeepers of the entire American healthcare system—their whole job is to triage who needs specialized care and who can be handled at the local clinic...
So, the protocol is to go to them first for advice instead of bothering a specialist with routine stuff like this!
By the way, I get the distinct impression you're following my thread history around, which isn't exactly a great feeling—it's basically digital stalking!
p.s. I'm really not a fan of people who fart or burp in public settings, so... yeah, you don't stand a chance! 😁

So, here’s the situation... I’ve been divorced for a few years now. I have two kids. After the split, I moved us to a different city, and the kids started at a new school there.

My oldest has adjusted beautifully and seems really happy. My youngest, however, is struggling.
I’m guessing they’re acting out because of general frustration, but lately, things have taken a turn for the worse. Here is the most recent thing that happened:

I opened my monthly phone bill and nearly had a heart attack. Looking at the statement from $0.67, I saw a massive charge for $0.53 calls to premium-rate numbers—basically those adult entertainment hotlines.

Since I didn't make those calls, and my oldest didn't either, that left my youngest (who is only 10) as the only option.
I sat them down for a serious talk, and they actually confessed!!!
In total shock, I tried to tactfully figure out what kind of conversations they were even having, but...
It was like talking to a brick wall!!!
Of course, the first thing I did was call the service provider to block all those numbers immediately!!!

I have been absolutely eating myself alive over this; it’s actually caused me some physical health issues from the stress!!!

I finally reached the point where I went to my doctor to get a referral for a therapist because I am completely at a loss. Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice to offer???
Please, I’m asking for serious responses only because I am really hurting right now!!
Thank you!!!

Honestly, how can you be so sure they were actually sexy lines? Not every premium rate number is designed for that—for all we know, the kid could have just called a crisis hotline or some psychic service...
And even if it *was* a sexy line, look, it’s really not the end of the world!
Just grab two more vouchers—one for yourself and one for the kid—because this seriously isn't something to have a meltdown over!!!
Besides, it's a bit funny seeing you dive into such a deep thread when you've only ever made one single post in the pro section! 😎

Just to be safe, maybe give your primary care physician a call—if they think it's necessary, they can always suggest a different course of treatment or a new medication altogether...
