Subject: Re: Effects: recognizing, accepting reactions, and addressing Author: Claudia [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08:28:51 07/03/09 Fri In reply to: Original Jeff 's message, "Re: Effects: recognizing, accepting reactions, and addressing" on 03:33:55 07/03/09 Fri When I was growing up I was exposed to excessive enemas because my mother had the whim that I needed them. They were a humiliation as she would pull me aside when I had a friend over to tell me it was enema time. My friend was invited to stay and watch or wait until mother was finished with me. I had an older sister who became my mother's 'nurse". She sometimes assisted with mother's enema whims on me. My sister was favored I think as she did not get these enemas, at least not as often and I was not asked to help mom give them to her. The result is I do give my son enemas only never in a humiliating manner and not as often as I got them. Sometimes as a kid mother had me stay home from school just to give me three to four enemas. If I complained, the next day would be the same. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I was one of those, and I grew up happy, and content. Yes, I still use enemas because they are very relaxing to me, and they help me avoid difficult bowel movements. In addition, I can 'plan' my BM times, and not often have to use a 'dirty' purblic restroom, for anything other than urination. Basically, I am happy with my childhood enemas, and I wish I could help you come to grips with them, too. Sincerely, Samantha [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Letting Go Author: Claudia (to Samantha) [Edit] Date Posted: 10:19:14 07/03/09 Fri I understand about "needing" enemas, and as an adult I do take enemas and give them to my children. It is the method of delivery which changes a kid's attitude from dread to using enemas to stay healthy and enjoy. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
