Divorced Daddy's New Path

I recently got divorced and found solace in becoming a Daddy. It started as roleplay, offering guidance and protection to someone who needed it. We moved into an age-play dynamic where I take care of her needs while she lets me make decisions for both of us. She's comfortable with the discipline that comes with it when necessary. This new chapter feels like it fills a void from my past relationships. Does anyone else find relief in taking on this kind of adult role?
