Age Regression!

coming out to parents 🌸

coming out to parents as a regressor can be hard. you never know how they'll react; how open minded they'll be. that's why it's important to have a good way of explaining regression to them.

explain that it's a coping tool that helps you. tell them about how safe and secure it feels. let them know it really helps! don't be afraid to vent a little bit too to really explain it!

let them know it is absolutely 100% not a kínk!! that's actually all i had to tell my mom for her to be completely fine with it! if you have kînks, parents should be the last people who wanna know about them.

let them know it's not dangerous. tell them it's not like you're a biological kid again and you're gonna accidentally kill urself if left alone for a while. it's just the way your mind is processing things is like that of a young child.

letting them get a picture of it would be a good heads up- letting them know "hey, this means i wanna color and use pacifiers and watch cute cartoons and drink from sippy cups" so that when you try to then get regression things around them, it's less shocking.

i hope if u do come out to your parents/ guardians it goes well!! good luck!
