Mitch I'm just writing to thank you so much for talking with me on the phone. I know you must have a tremendous amount of courage to be able to talk openly with a parent on a subject that must be one of the most embarrassing out there. My heart just goes out to you for all you went through with this at my son's age. Sorry I haven't gotten back with you before now. So far everything has been going well with our son. He was able to open up to us about his feelings and I think we now have a pretty good grasp of everything. I bought him Goodnights last week and apparantly he is using them. We just told him to keep it private and he seems to be OK with that. He is wearing clothes over them in the daytime as you suggested. Today I noticed he needs some more and I asked him if he wanted me to pick some more up and he said it might be a good idea. Then he hugged me and thanked me for listening to him. I know I feel alot better about this everyday and while my husband ain't exactly thrilled he has been willing to tolerate it so far. God bless you for helping our family with this because we were just about at our wits end. You're doing something very special here with your site. Best wishes on your family plans. I'm praying for you.

Sincerely, Nancy

This is the mom of a 14 year old boy in Canada. A few months back he had saw this site and was looking for help on how to break this news to his parents. At the time I don't believe that he had actually acquired diapers but was very interested in getting them. I suggested a letter since that seems to work well. It breaks the ice. Parents seem to be very willing to listen to a problem that a child brings to them first. His parents read the site and thought it made a lot of sense and because he was open about this he was rewarded with diapers. The kid wrote me back thanking me. Several weeks later I thought I would send him an e-mail and just check up on how everything was going for him. I never heard back. Even though the site had provided answers it just didn't seem right or in the kid's best interest for a boy his age to be wearing diapers. So the parents sought professional help. Certainly anyone should not believe anything from just one perspective on any subject that pertains to their child's well being. Any good parent would seek a second opinion on something that just don't seem right in their mind. The problem was the psychiatrist really frightened them very badly as to this being something very serious that needed immediate attention. He told them that people with this can't function as adults. That basically it was impossible to have a family or work career when they become an adult and some even regress to the point that they have to be totally cared for just like a baby. Since he is a paid professional his logic was worth listening to and an effort to "cure" this was now happening. The boy felt betrayed for being honest about his feelings and then just took the attitude of say what his parents and doctor wanted to hear. In a few visits they had their miracle cure. Too easy huh. Then the boy became so desperate to have the diapers that needed so badly that he found an adult in a close by town from a listing off the net and rode his bike several miles to meet him secretly. Obviously the man had good intentions and thought he was doing the best thing possible for this boy. I'm sure his heart went out for the boy's situation. Well his parents discovered his newly acquired diapers and after extensive questioning were shocked and scared at the possibilities that could have happened. The mom then tried searching on-line for this site he had presented her with and finally found it. She sent me an e-mail wanting to talk. I gave her my phone number and then we talked. I guess I sounded like the most normal guy in the world that certainly didn't fit the description that the psychiatrist stereotyped.
