A Slip Back in Time

After my recent divorce, I found myself drawn to the idea of becoming a little again. It wasn't something that happened overnight but more like a slow realization as I began to unwind from the stress and chaos of my marriage. The first time it happened was when I stumbled upon some old stuffed animals under my bed, all remnants of childhood memories I hadn’t thought about in years. They triggered this deep longing for comfort, simplicity, and innocence that divorce had stripped away from me. I decided to explore the idea further online, joining a few subreddits dedicated to adult littles. The community was surprisingly supportive and understanding. Eventually, I found myself in a relationship with someone who understood my needs. They took on a daddy role for me, something that felt both incredibly freeing and a bit scary at first. It helped me process my emotions in a way I never thought possible. Is this normal? Am I just seeking comfort or is there more to it? How do others handle such intense emotional triggers after divorce?
