Teenager wetting the bed after sexual abuse

My name is Rachel and I've recently started wetting the bed every night due to bad dreams and flashbacks about the stuff that happened with my step dad. I think it might be because I have to go speak to the police again soon and it's bringing it all back. I've tried not drinking any fluids after 6pm and going to the bathroom before bed but I still wake up wet and I don't know what to do anymore. I live with my Dad cause my Mum sided with her husband over the abuse, saying she couldn't leave him cause she loves him. She would be the one I would speak to about this and I'm too embarrassed to go to the Dr about it.

Has anyone had any experience of this with their teens? And what do you think I should do? I'm really worried that my Dad finds out and gets angry cause I've ruined the mattress.

Thanks, Rachel x

Hi Rachel I think you are very brave to post on here. Where abouts do you live? If you tell us your general area one of us might be able to drop off the stuff and teach you to cook in person.

Evening everyone - and thank you for your many reports of this thread.

We're going to suspend it for a bit, to give us some time to reply to those who've mailed in.

We have no reason to suspect Rachel9331b, the OP, is anything other than genuine.

But we would caution you all, including Rachel9331b - and, as we would caution anyone - that it's always best to take extreme care when arranging to meet or get into off-board contact with someone you have befriended online. The vast majority of MNers are the most lovely, genuine people but, the internet being what it is, it is always worth remembering that not everyone is who they say they are.
