    The cop was a bit of a prick. I hope that they take the investigation and put an APB out for Mom and there already is an Amber Alert issued. She is doing great since she has only been out of the crib for about five hours. The fact that Mom ran is a sign that Mom knew she was wrong. If they know the license plate, she is in trouble. We talked about Mom monitoring the nanny came, but they will send alerts to your phone is there is movement. Depending on how far Mom was from their house, Sarah might not have been able to make it very far if she had tried to escape. The sad part is that she got so brainwashed that she wasn't going to leave. I don't think it's even worthwhile to encourage Sarah to use the toilet. I think the key is to help her gain independence and get her past the mindset that she chose her fate. I think she is getting there. I highly recommend reading Diapers Never Lie. There is so much in that story that parallels what happened here, and Lisa could be a big part of Sarah's recovery.

    That story is still in the development stage. I don't start posting until I complete the narrative, so I'm thinking I'll start publishing in June. Real life, especially that job thing takes a lot of time out of my editing.

    You do understand your leap of faith, right? You are comparing a surgery that is performed on millions of men and women to a surgery that you need to find a single surgeon who practices in a country with limited regulations. Vasectomies' are 99% successful and about 95% of the surgeries have no complications. It is safe, and the outcome is that you can f*ck as much as you want without worrying about getting a shot past the goalie. You can do all the mental gymnastics you want, but it's not in any way self-harm. Tubal ligation has far more complications and the reversal is very complicated. But, have you read how many doctors won't perform that surgery on childless women of child-bearing age? I know this: I have 4 doctors in my life who would physically try to stop me from traveling to Mexico. I'm in the minority on this thread, so take their advice if you think I'm just being an intolerant AH.

    I've not seen any source that confirms that 5-year-old age. I saw this: How Long Does it Take to Potty Train? It says 2.5, which is probably young.

    I originally had my character at 4'9" and then I looked up the rules for California. I cut an inch of his height so that I could have his mom make him sit in a booster chair (FTR- it's a specially made booster chair that acts more like a car seat). When he complains about it, the mom replies, "The physics won't know how old you are, so you need the booster seat." This story is written by somebody who is in the beginning stages of story writing. I think story writing is a skill that you need to practice and one of the hardest is to create a universe where the plot is feasible. That is especially true when the genre is ABDL. As I read the story, I could see @adventurekido growing as an author, and addressing some of the flaws, but sometimes we just have to overlook the flaw and accept the story as written. BTW- that is not just true in amateur fiction writing. In one of my favorite movies of all time, Raiders of the Lost Ark, the protagonist plays no role in the outcome of the story. In Independence Day, we have to believe alien technology and a 1996 computer are compatible, when a 1996 computer isn't compatible with a 2024 computer. We also have to believe that Will Smith can operate a spaceship that he has never seen and was independently created, and somehow manage to dock it with another ship that he has never seen and has no idea how they dock the ship.

    This sadly happens all too frequently in diaper stories. Frequently the suspension of belief is quite a bit. I'm currently writing a story where the main character is an adult male 4'8" (chosen because children under 4'9" are required to be in a booster seat if under 9). He has a growth hormone deficiency (which is a thing) and never went through puberty (also a real thing). However, the size puts him near the same size as a 10-year-old, so the challenge is to explain why an 8-year-old is diapers.

    This story would not work as well if it were in the third person. There is something about being restricted to Sarah's perspective that works. However, I'm looking forward to the interrogation scene when @MinnesotaWriter writes the screenplay for the movie version.

    That might be true, but I don't think we will get to learn about mom's motives in this story. It's written from Sarah's perspective, and MW has done a great job making this story believable. Short of including any testimony, I don't think Sarah will learn much about her mother's motives.

    I reread the examination, and it is so realistic. Jane is peeling the onion with this patient who was found an hour before in a crib with a soiled diaper, and gets her in a realistic way to open up and share the horrific abuse she suffered, along with likely cause for her incontinence. Add in a bit of comfort that a doctor could need Pull-ups. Amazing! I don't want to turn this into an anti-foster system discussion, but the reality Sucks. I hope MW doesn't go for a full reality of what Sarah may face when she becomes a foster child. I hope she doesn't suffer the fate that the Turpin children went through.

    That's a big question for me as well. I wonder how Sarah will feel Emilia as she processes what happened. That diapers=baby mentality is deeply ingrained in both of them, and Emilia seemed to relish the idea of being the big sister. However, Sarah is so perceptive that I think she will understand that Emilia was just a pawn, just as she was when Emilia was struggling with potty training. PS- I just re-read up to chapter 10, and Mom is a bitch. She was a terrible mother who gaslit Sarah at every opportunity. Sarah has been under her thumb for 15 years.

    In real life, Sarah would have no issues making up the classes, but there doesn't need to be a rush to get her back in school. She could start in June at summer school, and then be fully back by fall. We can get very creative when we need to get kids credits. She could easily graduate with her class, and with honors. She is on her own for college, which will suck. I have no idea how they would handle her guardianship. I would hope that she would go to a nurturing foster situation, but sadly that's not always the case. However, I would ask for her school to assess Sarah.
  13. spark
    It is entirely possible, and it would be an excellent way for Mom to keep the school from investigating. Depending on the way the Home school works, there may be some requirements for showing up in front of somebody (at least online) from an attendance standpoint- they just want work samples.

    I think they would consult with a pediatric urologist. I know that my SIL treats teenagers, as well as infants. I'm sure this was a screening, and they brought Jane when they realized that Sarah couldn't control her bladder. There are a lot of issues that they need to investigate. I don't think an exclusive diet of baby food would be enough nourishment for a teenager. She lost weight and is taller, and I believe her BMI was already small. It's a big reason she fell. She was too big for the crib and spent two months in the crib, which must have caused orthopedic issues, especially because she was forced to crawl. Not to mention the mental health implications of being in virtual solitary confinement for two months. I'm assuming that Sarah didn't do any school. As a baby, all she did was eat, sleep, pee and poo. A school wouldn't give her credit for any classwork that she did. Depending on the size of the high school, they wouldn't have the resources to bring in truancy offices. The sad fact is that we don't on high school students, most of whom are school refusal. They will pressure parents in middle school, but we have a lot of students who won't go to school. The county won't do anything about it if the child is 15, however, nobody seeing Sarah would raise a red flag. Three months is too much of a semester to earn full credit for the semester. That's the difference between high school and K-8. In K-8, you can ignore half the course because credits don't matter. You have to earn credits in HS.

    Two months! It's almost half the semester! If she has amazing resilience, process all that had happened to her, and break the brainwashing her mother put her through (FTR- she was brainwashed before this happened), it would still take a few weeks to get her well enough to attend school. As an HS SPED teacher, I work with GE teachers a lot, and they are more inflexible than college professors. If she was still in Middle School, there would be a benefit in her going back to school as soon as she is able. She is in HS, and that's different. If I were Sarah's CPS Case manager, I would push to get Sarah assessed for special education. I don't know if she would qualify (she could qualify with an Emotional Disturbance). That would get access to a resource teacher. I have 28 students on my caseload and a counselor has 250 If the semester ended in December, Sarah would already have 30 credits. She could still graduate with her class (BTW- that would've been the Class of 2023) If her HS did what HS did in the not too recent past and ended the semester after Winter Break, she got incompletes, and by March- those are now F's. Which means she would be a 16-year-old Freshman. I've been screaming for CPS to come in for three years. I cheered when MW typed CPS. It wasn't as hard as I cheered on Saturday night when the 49ers beat the Packers (how did that make feel @MinnesotaWriter?), but that's only because I expected CPS to be called. The story just resonates with a lot of us

    This chapter must have been a hard read for you especially where Sarah is emotionally right now. The description of the final potty training attempt must have been heartbreaking for the doctor. @MinnesotaWriteris Jane a regular urologist, or a pediatric urologist? That is a pediatric specialty, my SIL is a pediatric nephrologist, and I know that's not a common specialty. If so, Jane would be familiar with abuses in the name of potty training. However, there aren't many Pediatric urologists around. There are only about 20 in the Bay Area. I think Sarah was rescued around an hour ago in the story's timeline, and that might be hard to find one on that short notice. It's a good thing that Sarah has such a good memory and can recall so many facts. Now they know about the injury and might be able to treat the physical cause. Even if the physical cause is treated, she hasn't been allowed to use the potty for almost three months. Can somebody give her a good diaper, because she might go through a package of Pull-ups in a day?

    I'm eagerly awaiting the next update, which according to Wattpad will drop at 4 PM CST tomorrow. I feel like the I'm waiting for the first Star Wars to debut. Unlike George Lucas, MW hasn't let me down yet.

    Writing conventions are punctuation, spelling, and grammar. If you do those three things well, but you don't say anything, it's garbage. FTR- that happens a lot. The opposite is having something interesting to say, but the spelling, punctuation, and grammar distract from your message. There is a reason we capitalize the first letter of a sentence (PS- check your first letters). There is a reason we use commas and period marks. I'm not great at knowing the rules- but Grammarly does. You've written 250k words, which is a s-ton of labor. If you present that in an unreadable format, that labor is wasted. If you use tools you have to make it accessible to the ready- that labor becomes appreciated

    I'm not sure why this story caught my attention. TBH- most stories I read don't catch my attention. I look for the part about diapers and if they don't have that- I won't read it that closely. 90% is a quest for the 10% I want to read. I don't even open up most of the stories on this board This story caught my attention first time, and I don't know what resonated with me. Sarah may be the opposite to myself. I wasn't a great student. My mom was the antithesis of Sarah's mom. I had a strong paternal figure, who loved me and took on a nurturing role after my mom died when I was 16. He is still there and is still my dad. I guess I played football, and she is a cheerleader, but I wasn't all that great at it when I played. Even the incontinence issue was very different. Even though I took my time to get there (nearly five), once I got there- I was fine. I think it was the teacher in me that connected to Sarah, even though Sarah would not be my student.

    I think Grammarly will help you a lot. I hope this doesn't sound harsh because you're writing is good, but it would be easier to follow if you had a better grasp of writing conventions. There is a reason that those conventions exist. My number one pet peeve when reading stories is wall of text, and putting multiple speakers in the same paragraph. Add a paragraph for each speaker. I had one story that I had to read 3 times to figure out who said what. I've avoided most of the DD stories (not sure why- but I do), but yours sounds good. My advice with the editing is to take it one step at a time. It takes me a long time to edit, but if I've completed the narrative- I know where I want to go and that helps with the narrative. PS-I've tried the writing chapter- edit-post chapter- write method and I ended up in a cul-de-sac.

    I couldn't write a story without Grammarly, and I couldn't publish it without the read-aloud. My last few stories are well-written and easy to read. I don't know if my narratives are great because they follow the same basic theme: a guy likes to wear diapers and gets to wear diapers with an idealized caregiver. I'm happy with the project that I'm almost done with and excited about the one that I worked on this weekend. The first one delves into an eternal conflict and you have a character that you want to hate, but can't. My caregivers are unrealistically nurturing, but that plays a big part in the conflict. The new one is exciting because the main character has a real issue with being viewed as a child. FTR- that's a real syndrome. Some adults are proportionally small, and some of them never go through puberty. I think I've realistically addressed those issues. the mother is afraid to let him grow up, which makes sense considering that he looks like a child. The gaslighting will lead you to believe that his mom might be right, even though you always realize that he needs to escape from his mom's control. I'm also planning to get an older sister, who has similar growth issues, but less intense, and gets caught up in their mother's web.

    Would they know that mom's treatment was caused by incontinence if Sarah can't tell them. I don't think their priority is incontinence. The priority is to make sure she is healthy and to make sure she doesn't have physical injuries. After that, the hospital will bring in a trauma counselor. Also, I'd hope Amanda stays by her side all night (Jodie could cause more trauma). I can't even imagine what Sarah would be going through that night. Other than the nuggets and apple juice, she only ate baby food. She wasn't allowed to express herself in real words for God knows how long. She will definitely wet herself, and almost certainly will poop herself. That's going to throw her in panic mode because she'll be afraid that they will do what her mom did. Nurses are saints, but they might show some annoyance when Sarah poops herself. I would constantly reassure Sarah that she is fine. She is safe, and I won't let anybody hurt her. Chances are, Sarah has been discouraged from speaking for so long that she is afraid to express herself.

    From what I know, it takes a long time for an adult to regain bladder control after they lose it. Given that her trauma is directly related to potty training failure, it might not be in her best interest to even try. She would have a lot of accidents while undergoing that process, and those failures could/would trigger more trauma. I'm not a physical therapist, nor a mental health professional, so this is way above my pay grade, but I would prioritize getting her to accept diapers or pull-ups and helping her gain independence with her toileting. I don't think it's a good idea to tell her, I think that played a major role in her mental breakdown after her mom started with her punishment. She could use the potty, which made her a baby, and therefore should be treated like a baby.

    I have the free version of Grammarly, which does a good job with basic grammar. BTW- Grammarly I think of my editing process as though I'm a sculptor. My rough draft is just creating the form. The next stage is refining the form and I'll still make big changes. I'll move parts and eliminate repetitive sections. The read-aloud function helps polish the story. I'm close to finishing up a story that I've worked on since August. I've got a couple of chapters left. I'll probably start to edit that in March. But this week I got an idea about a 24-year-old man with a growth deficiency and an insanely over-protective mother. The mother keeps gaslighting him and you can guess what happens. I didn't want to lose that story, so I've written 12k words since Friday.

    Her first accident was after she fell at cheer practice, so it could be caused by a spinal injury, but by this point, she would be conditioned to use her diaper for urination and defection. Sarah mentioned it would be pure luck if she peed in the potty and she had a hard time initiating the pee in her failed big girl attempt. There is a process that patients go through to regain bladder control after having a Traumatic Brain Injury which sounds similar to potty training a child.
