Hard Realities of Daddy Play

I'm a software engineer who's also into DDLG stuff as a Daddy. It’s been tough keeping this side hidden from work and family. Last night, I disciplined my sub for coming home late. The emotions were raw, hurt, anger, but mostly the fear that she won’t learn without some tough love. I held her down, forced her to take it, to accept her mistake. Afterwards, we talked through it. It was cathartic yet draining. She said she felt like a mess, needed to clean up both literally and figuratively. We cleaned together, me watching over, making sure everything was in order before bedtime. That night, I cried myself to sleep, guilt, love, confusion. Not an easy path.
