True and painful words, aye...

Yeah that's deeper than i care to admit to myself...

Never thought about it this way, It explains clearly why I'm Abdl.

Yep such a mood there. And definitely similar to my experience - wanting to reset so to say.

Unfortunately, trauma is very real...

even though I am not into that stuff myself (but I do love your artwork) you have my biggest respect here for speaking these things out and using that topic in a comic like this!

Ofttimes the reality isn't that involved in comics at all!

That's a powerful reflection there. And yeah, it makes a lot of sense, for a lot of us I'm sure.
It really is amazing that we have a community that's so accepting and Willi g to embrace the other sides of us.

Dem feels man... I can confirm that this is the case for me. My father was... well, to be blunt, a horrible person and he screwed my childhood up bad. It didn't help that I always had gender identity issues and he was very much a hardcore traditionalist when it came to gender roles. Grew up in rural Michigan in the 50s, ex-Navy from Vietnam, etc.

Ack...this hits deep..yet it’s so incredibly true...

Feel it exactly the same

I think for me its the want to go back and live my childhood my way cause up until I was in middle school my parents controlled my life. Yes in the end it was better for me but now I kinda want it back.

Yikes, that's a deep reason for it, I just like it because it reminds me of my childhood when I wasn't fully potty trained until I was 5 years old

Somehow i feel like i'm less "legitimate" because i don't have any childhood reason to be an AB.
I know this is not at all the idea, but i can't help to feel that way. So many ab need this way more than i do.

You're not any less valid because you didn't have a horrific childhood. Don't think others need it more than you, we're all here to just have fun.

Hugs yes you do need it a part of you are an ab for comfort.
It doesn't matter why just that you are.
There are many reasons we become little ones no part for that is less valid.
I hope you don't look down on yourself you're a very unique person yourself .We all can't be the same and I wouldn't want to world where we all were.

Nobody "deserves" happiness more than anyone else, we should all be able to feel safe and happy, that's a basic human need just as essential as food and water. If only people understood the extent of what it takes to feel safe and happy for different people, though...

I may be the odd ball of the group here, but it wasn't the trauma of people giving me a hard time cause I was different that made me a ABDL. Honestly most accepted me for who I was growing up. Mine was more because of a worldwide event that happened when I had entered my preteens. An event most are familiar with that happened 2 decades ago.

Forgot to add, but came back too late to edit last comment. The event had caused me to experience a fear of potential loss of family. After it happened, it triggered me wanting to be little again. When everything that happened beyond the borders of my homestate, North Dakota, were unknown to me, and I didn't have to worry about the dangers of the whole world.

Sorry. But I felt I should put this out there. And I hope it's understandable what triggered me becoming an AB.

I have my quirks, some that make me feel backed into a corner in my head.

Uh huh, it makes sense! Trauma can come in many forms~

Yoor good! It's good to share cause others might feel the same way!

Thanks for understanding.

*Thumbs Up*

Well, this is starting to get to me...

yupp this page digs deep into me not that that is a bad thing though.

Lola is sweet as a young girl. She's still sweet as she is.

hits a little too close to home, you can do it pandora

This hits close to home for me, Pandora.

This basically explains why I created a world where I can be a little kid who’s cared for by a loving mommy...I...I’m so glad I found your work. You don’t know how much your comic helps. I do hope to see more from you.

I reassemble those remarks...

sigh. yeah, this makes me feel things...
thank you for this comic.

Sounds about right.

That's a big old "Yep" from me, sister. :(
Abusive childhood? Check.
Trans, wishing she could have been born the way she wishes? Yup.
Yearning for an escape from all the absolute HECK that I've gone through over the years, and wanting to be cared for and protected by someone I can truely, honestly, trust? yep yep yep yep yep yep yep.


At least things do tend to get better with time... So, there's that.

Big yep here too.

Yes I was bullied until suicidal so dropped out of high school.
I still get those thoughts some times but would never act on them.
That's one reason I'm a baby or toddler today.
For comfort my happy place so to speak.
Great job bringing that out in your comic

That's... ugh... yeah, painfully accurate... if I could go back to when it was just me and sis and we didn't need to worry about anything and just had each other like we used to, then I'd throw away anything and everything to get that back. I know sis probably would too, if only because I know she's gone so much not by choice but solely for our sake... bwuh. :<

Much feels indeed.
This comic is wonderful <3

This is pretty accurate for me, hits right in the feels.

Not abusive for me, more.... ignored. But maybe that still fits. idk. Page still hits that feeling though.

Yup yup, that's soooper true too!

Its funny because I can play childhood trauma bingo with the best of them, but tho little interest has been there since early puberty, I never felt like it was coping mechanism. It was just a thing in my life that safe and comfy an fun...

I been pretty successful at managing myself despite my "high score"...

this came out of nowhere ... But after all, this sad truth also has something nice - it shows that you are not alone with your feelings and that there are people out there, who can understand you <3

Ya know, it never ceases to amaze me at how easily this stuff hits home for me. No matter how many times I tear my heart to pieces and then put myself back together, it always hurts. Even though I have done all I can think of to do to try to get rid of my emotions, it still hurts. Then again, this does hit home for me. I could recount all I have been through, but it would be long and painful to read so I won’t. What my need to age play comes from is the overwhelming emptiness I feel all of the time. Age play is another form of escapism and it works better than most other things. Feeling whole is something everyone wants.

I gotta start actually listening to trigger warnings for this stuff because I am in the exact situation as Pandora in the story except I ever worked up the nerve to ask my mom if I could get the operation and when I asked my dad, my dad said "that's disgusting you don't really want to be like those people" (it has been 2 years he still hasn't apologized) he's just a jerk. It hit too deep.

P.S. I love your art style

This stung but I loved the message. The pain will eventually go away.

I think this is my favorite page in any ABDL comic.

When i was very little, like 2-3 I remember nothing was safe. Crying got me thrown in closets or beaten.

As an adult I had no idea how numb and detached I made myself until the first time I tried to regress. Bought a pacifier and just burst into tears the first time I used it. Hadn't been able to cry in months.

I wish people could see how this heals, rather than all the oversexualized stuff on tumblr.
