"My daddy didn't understand me growing up... He wanted me to be a big, brave, strong dragon. But I was always shy and anxious. Using baby items helped me feel more confident and less anxious. I thought that would make him happy… but it didn't. 😢"
To be clear, Eli's relationship with his father is not meant to represent my own. No parent is perfect, but my dad was and still is loving and supportive. I'm not totally sure what exactly prompted me to draw this. I suppose it could be a feeling of empathy for those who are made to feel ashamed of their interests, even when they are harmless or make them feel more comfortable being themselves. All I know is, I want to be a safe person for those like Eli who don't have a supportive family.

This hits hard. My parents absolutely despise abdls and when they found out i was one when i was 13 they scolded me just like this. Meanwhile that same year i ended up committing myself because of bullying i went through and the doctors said that there was absolutely nothing to be ashamed of for my regressive habits and asked me "what retards made you think you would be an SO for having regressive habits?" I am obviously paraphrasing because i despise the actual word my parents would use to describe abdls.
Yeah, I've heard from multiple friends who've talked with therapists or counselors about being ABDL and the general consensus seems to be something along the lines of, "Honestly, as far as coping mechanisms go, that's actually pretty healthy." Not that it's a coping mechanism for everyone who participates, but the point is, it's harmless, and for some, it's even helpful.
So sorry your parents didn't get that. I hope you are able to be you now in a way that is healing and affirming. 💙
