That's so sad. Children can be so affected by what adults say. And the adults often have no idea what they caused.zoobyshoe said:This reminds me of the story told by a woman I used to know: in grade school there was some very upsetting incident between her and her teacher (I don't remember the details) about her having to go to the bathroom during class. She developed such a huge complex about it that she determined she would never have to go to the bathroom again the whole time she was at school, and her whole life and diet became about 'bathroom use management': everything she ate or drank had to be considered with respect to how it might affect her need to use the bathroom during the hours she was at school. She worked at, 1.) ignoring thirst, and, 2.) holding her pee for hours, and this discipline became the center of her life.
