[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad 15 wets her bed. Daughter checks out but not diabetes and suspect habits?!!! What does that mean. She already stops drinking water before going to bed but wets her bed nearly everyday. Seems to stink the duvets and bed. Wondering what to do![/quote]

Late bed wetting is often a sign of sexual abuse.[/quote]

NP - that was EXACTLY the same first thought I had when reading this post and OPs.  It's the difference between sudden onset teen bedwetting, and never having grown out of it in the first place.  When it starts after a few years (or many years) of no problem, I think sexual abuse way before I think diabetes, although all avenues should be explored.

Conversations with the teen about how they're doing in general, how they're sleeping, if anything is bothering them, and if anyONE is bothering them or confusing them.  Asking if anyone is confusing them may seem odd, but it can be an easier question for them to be honest about than something like "is anyone hurting you?"

No matter what, at absolute minimum, more and deeper communication with the teen is essential.  In a non-shaming and non-alarmist way, and as supportive as possible.[/quote]
