Hi INTrePid,
I was born with damaged bladder and sphintor muscles, at least that's what they think. I managed to have a few days being potty trained and it started again. Luckily my parents didn't want to put me through surgery at such a small age. I've had surgery later on which didn't really work out. They have tried an artificial sphincter which ended up causing a lot of complications and it was removed later.
My parents were so supportive, my mom was my rock when I should have been.... I also have a brother and he's really understanding about my situation unusual for brothers these days I think, or maybe not. Since I've been incontinent for so long I have had so many major 'accidents' when I was small and it was my mother who helped me get through it, she was my therapist, my nurse and my true friend and I'll forever be in debt to her.
Being incontinent and going to school was more scary because of social aspects mostly. There were the one or two who would laugh or make fun of it but surprisingly most never really talked about it. I do have a few good friends from high school and we still keep in touch.I think having a roughish childhood helped me death with things later on. I do hope that one day modern medicine be able to give me some freedom and I think it has the potential to.
I've definitely heard that name before, Adrian surley. I'll definitely take a read.
Everybody has their 'thing' and maybe I don't understand why it's diapers because I see it as a patient and as a necessity, I never really liked it, but I understand that different people like different things. About a year back I dated a guy (the second and lastvdate I've been in
) who was a diaper lover, but I could see that he really did care for me and he challenged me intellectually which I really find attractive. For better or for worse it never worked out, I had my fears of being intimate and I told him that we need a break which means goodbye forever and that was that
though I think that was sort of puppy love at the time...
Hope this answers your questions
