Welcome to MSF @GoldenBunny - I can see how a mother could be upset by this. Diarrhea or uncontrolled urination might have happened before he started wearing diapers and that may have been very embarrassing.

It seems like a good sign that he trusts you enough to talk about it a little. It must be a shock for you to find out that your child is not as acclimated as they appeared or you assumed.

For me letting go was difficult when my daughter got to be a teen. This might be anticipating that they will grow up one day and leave the nest. Empty nest can be hard on parents. A mother's whole identity can be wrapped up in their kids. I had to reinvent myself when my daughter left home to go to school far away.

Thanks for sharing
