Sure To Be A Problem Sooner Or Later...

[dave_the_baby]

A little backstory...

In the second grade, I was still wearing pull-ups for bedwetting. We had an overnight field trip, and I was of course told to bring one with me. I was scared of being teased, so in the end I didn't put it on. I was fine overnight, and when I got back, I threw all my pull-ups away...or so I thought.

I found one several years later, in sixth grade or so. I tried it on, and it still fit. The thrill was awesome...but of course, I had only one; and I could only use it once. So to get more, I had to try to talk to my mom. Her initial assumption was that it was a psychological thing and I might need to get checked, so I abandoned the subject for many years.

Later I found an oppurtunity to get back in: I had little 'dribbles.' I think you get the idea from there: even though it was minor, I said I'd be more comfortable with pull-ups.

...and at some point, my mom thought it was bedwetting again. It's been like that for several years, but I can't help but feel that sooner or later, she's going to catch on. I don't really have a problem with being honest, it's just that right now, it would look even more like a psychological thing. For three years, I was extremely unstable, going from happy to depressed (mostly depressed). I still have those kinds of swings, but not as strongly now.

If the time does come, what would you advise? (Besides understandinginfantalism.org. I'm more of an Adult Kid than an AB)

Some might say, "Well, you're eighteen, you're an adult now, it's up to you." But I would still wait until you have a job to come out to the people you live with, which is what I plan on doing. Once I have my first paycheck in hand, I am going to tell my mother and grandmother about how I deal with my stress, etc. I plan on showing them that it's perfectly legal, and also to butt out. They have their own ways of dealing with stuff, so do I, and a month's supply of diapers costs less than a month's supply of cigarettes, or bi-weekly visits to the casinos, or the bars.

I am employed. The lifestyle would be expensive if I paid for it, though.

...truth be told, I have to be the one to find the answer myself. I probably shouldn't waste my time asking here.

I say wait until you have the courage and confidence to confess everything to your mom. Wearing diapers doesn't harm anything, and it's better than drinking, smoking, or doing drugs. There are much worse habits to have than enjoying diapers.

Yes... it is expensive, but paying for it yourself is the proper thing to do. Your parents should not be expected to support this lifestyle. If you want to live it, grow up and pay for it yourself.

Yea, that's probably more of the feeling- more guilty than paranoid.

Letters have worked well for starting awkward conversations in the past.

I have to agree here You're old enough to begin carrying your own load in life, and the sooner you begin carrying it the sooner you'll find how to best deal with it.

It's always rough at first but it becomes easier in time and it puts things in proper perspective. I've missed meals to buy cigarettes but I knew that I wanted the ciggies more than the food. That's not a good choice BTW but it was what I wanted to do so I did it As to coming clean with anyone about your ABDL side you don't have to do that unless you want to and you have plenty of time to consider what the outcome of it might be I had to come clean about being TG to Mom because I couldn't be me without it showing- so I told her in my own way rather than shocking her with her discovering it without knowing anything about the issue

Diapers are different- nobody needs to see them so nobody really needs to know except you and whoever you choose to share that with As long as you're careful and prepared to handle an accidental discovery I'd leave the matter alone, move to a place of my own ASAP, and begin living your life as you want to and are able to arrange for If you later feel compelled to speak with someone about it, remember their feelings and what it might do to them- if you love them you don't want to hurt them and it is often better to carry that burden inside yourself than to feel the regret of hurting someone you love Only if the burden becomes overwhelming will you need help carrying it and then someone who loves you is the person who will do that for you If you're not sure get advice from an intelligent neutral party like a Therapist. In time you'll find your way through this and everything else life throws at you
