Thank you for your reply, @Tart Cherry Jam. I really appreciate that you took the time to write. I feel very worried after reading the link you shared.

Right now, I feel very lost. It feels like I have no control anymore, like I don’t really know who my child is. I’ve been trying for so long to understand why he does what he does. I’ve been thinking back to his early years, especially potty training, which was very difficult. It was a long and hard journey, and I’ve often wondered if I made a mistake by pushing him when he was little. He didn’t stay dry during the day until sometime after he turned four, and the bedwetting continued until he was almost eight.

Almost two years ago, his dad wanted a divorce, and after that, the bedwetting came back. We got help from a doctor, who said it could be a reaction to the separation. We started using night-time diapers again so he wouldn’t have to wake up in a wet bed. It was really hard for him and something he struggled to accept. Even then, he sometimes tried to hide his accidents and said the night had gone fine, but when we found the diaper, it was clear he wasn’t telling the truth.

As far as I know, he’s been dry again for almost two years now. That’s why I was so surprised, and worried, when I found used diapers in his room. I thought maybe he would open up more when he got his own diapers, but he hasn’t. What worries me most is that I’ve seen several times that the diapers have been wet, whether that’s on purpose or by accident, I don’t know. He hasn’t said anything, it’s just something I’ve happened to notice. And it really scares me.

I’m really not trying to judge him, I love him so much. I just want to understand what’s going on. Is it bedwetting again? Is it stress, anxiety, something emotional? Or… something else, like what you mentioned? I don’t know. And that frightens me.
