Letter from Matt

         Hey kids, I know what you're going through and I know you probably feel pretty alone. I know you have feelings that are hard to deal with because you don't even know what those feelings are but because of them you probably cry yourself to sleep some nights. Well I was the exact same way. I was a popular kid at school, I was real athletic and outgoing and everybody liked me. But I didn't like myself all that much because I felt really bad about my wetting and wanted to do something to make me dry. So I tried alarms and they didn't wake me up, and I tried not drinking anything before bed but I was still wet and really thirsty.

         As I got older I started using diapers to keep my bed dry, and they worked but I felt like a baby and cried every night when my mom diapered me. Anyway my point is I kinda wasted those years hating myself, I really wasn't a bad kid, I just thought I was. When I was 14 my parents divorced, and I felt alot of things I had never felt before and that I couldn't deal with. One thing I did feel that I could deal with, was love for my little brother, who was 9 at the time and was the same way I was at that age, he hated himself. So my folks divorced, but I stopped hating myself, soon I became dry, and I started wanting to help my little brother get over those feelings. We became best friends and we still are, and he likes himself alot more than I liked myself at age 12.

         I've stuck with sports and am the starting varsity quarterback, and on the varsity basketball team. I hope to play college football, and I"ve dedicated myself to helping my brother anyway I can. So my point is, don't give up on yourself, wetting isn't your fault and alot of wetters turn out great. In fact alot of wetters already are great they just don't realize it, Like you. Never quit. Because there are people that care alot about you, like your parents, and you should care about yourself. Give yourself a hug from me.

         There it is, sorry it's so long, I hope you like it and I hope someone can learn something from it.

                                                                                                    much love,
