Age 12
I was chosen to go with my parents to Canada., Liz did not want to go, she was looking forward to spending 3 weeks with our cousins without parents around.
My Mother was going into hospital for a non existent medical problem and she wanted me around so that Daddy would not be left alone for a moment.
I was very excited about the trip but for one problem that troubled me greatly. I was a bed wetter and my mother used to tell people about it plus she beat and punished me daily for wetting my bed, till it reached the stage of me sleeping on the hard cold floor to get away from the beatings.
And of course, it happend in Canada at Glenda's home where we were staying. I felt so ashamed and tried to wash the sheet in the bathroom and iron it before anyone found out.,but Glenda did find out and approached me. She was very good about it and provided a waterproof under my sheet,, she also washed the sheet in the mornings, I became so relaxed that I stopped wetting the bed for the last two weeks in Canada.
My life was plagued with fear and shame for many years because of the bed wetting and it did not stop till I left home at 17 then it stopped completely.
