Feeling Lost

I'm a stay-at-home parent who sometimes feels like I need to switch roles with my partner for balance. It's strange how it makes me feel more grounded when I act as the little or seek that kind of care from him, even though logically it doesn't make sense. When we play these roles, there are moments where the lines between reality and fantasy blur so much, it feels like stepping back in time to a place inside my head. But that's silly, right? It just puzzles me why this helps me be a better parent otherwise. Anyone else out there ever felt something similar or have any advice for handling these feelings without losing touch with who I truly am?
