Bed wetting?

Question

i'm male and frequently wet the bed from about 5 - to about 11! i had horrible night-mares in which i urinated! i stopped at about the time i began to have nocturnal erections (it's hard to go with an erection) which woke me up.
my bed wetting began when the dreadful fear of my abusive/frightening dad took hold. it seems that i spent my entire early childhood SCARD TO DEATH OF MY PARENTS. the horrible tensions of our everyday life was relieved in sleep when i'd wet - often several times a night! the rubber sheets, spankings, diet restrictions, self-hate, discomfort, etc. was mind boggling.

there's much more to this but i'd like to suggest that, if your kid is wetting, you might consider the kid's emotional/psychological condition (especially FEARS) along with genetic/physical causes. i know that you, like my parents, don't want to ever admit that YOU ARE THE CAUSE of your kid's reactions/behavior but YOU ARE for the most part! so, do somethng about your parenting!

Answer 1

Thank you for speaking up! My little sister wet the bed until she was 13. My parents humiliated her by making her take her mattress outside to dry for everyone to see. They were jerks.
We later found out she had been molested at day care when she was 2-5......psychiatrist, doctor confirmed, man in jail.

Now they feel like her problems are all their fault.
Please make sure you are sensitive to this issue of bed wetting.
It could damage a child profoundly.

Kudos for speaking up. Bedwetting can be a nightmare for kids and parents. Usually, it resolves itself over time.
