I didn't do this however, my little girl who had always been miss independent started to wet the bed, have nightmares and suck her thumb when she was 3 until age 5 when she finally told me her step-brother had been molesting her. It has something to do with the trauma but to be honest I don't know the corelation. Sorry I couldn't help more but wanted you to at least know that someone else did the same thing.

I like ninavee's daughter wet the bed, but i went mute and i wouldnt talk, i hardly talked to friends (they still stayed my friends supprisingly) i would talk to my parents but only if they asked me something or started a convo with me. but i turened mute when i was 2 and a half after i had a major sergery but it just got worse after the abuse started

i become the "perfect" student while it was happening. when it was over i started hurting myself in various ways, not eating, cutting, etc. i put a lot of energy into appearing normal though.

I have heard that day or night wetting could be a sign of sexual abuse. I was abused as a teen, so my reactions were very different...

I never knew day wetting was a common thing associated with sexual abuse, I have researched it, and no one seems to have the answer to why I would do it. I was doing it on purpose I know that for sure, It wasn't a case of getting too many fluids or being nervous.

As I reread this post something else came to mind..I might be far off base but here goes... I used to be very attractive, not conceited, just was. At some point I decided that I wouldnt be attractive then no one would bother me. So I gained 60lbs, quit bathing every day (had to bathe every other cause I hated not bathing lol), I cut off my hair (17inches) and quit wearing makeup. I am wondering if you wet yourself on purpose because to you that is gross and no one would want to touch you. Just a thought.

when I was little I would wet the bed and I even had to have some kind of surgery. I was terrified. I remember being scared, and I think all this was from the abuse!

Before this happened I had a lot of friends and was very sociable at school. Afterwards I withdrew myself from everything and everyone i loved.

I only spoke when I was spoken to. My grades started to slip. I couldn't sleep. I was pretty much anti-social.

when i was little i INSISTED that i have a short haircut [kinda like a bowl cut]
ppl used to confuse me with a boy. I dug my nails into myself so much that the other kids made fun of me for all the scabs =/

when i got older, i gained a ton of weight...i was 5'3'' and 213lbs by the middle of highschool!!! I was also cutting, burning, whatever. but i stitched myself and poured salt over it so no one would know...

at somepoint in HighSchool i just lost the weight, down to 140ish. It was only some years after i lost weight that i had some flashbacks....heh i attrubute the flashbacks to a lovely little sex addiction i pick up. . . so i went down to 114lbs...

now i'm back up a bit =] but i started picking again in the last yr when my step-father died =[ working on that one.


i wonder all the tie why no one helped me. my mother was abusive....and we lived with my grandparents....why didn't someone stop her? why didn't the school say....gee....this girl's hair is a rats nest, she never has lunch or money and is steeling our food, and hey....why are her grades so poor?

it was always....oh a learning disability.... disability my asshole! It's because you never know...and even if you do know, and do something.....will it put the child in a better or worse place? i hear foster homes a toss up...and some REALLY suck.

i later learned that ppl asked my mother if i had been, or if i was okay. and she would think they were insane.
