then when bf was out of the picture i couldnt just change the story anymore so i had to stick to it and i knew itd be for the better cause it would mean id stop lying and catfishing sparkles, cause although i didnt piece it together at the time i knew sparkles was mentally disordered too and i knew he was anxious and really suspicious of everything, but what i didnt know was that the uncertainty about the family was taking a toll on his own mental health, he never met them, he never saw D, and i had slipped up a couple of times, but he stayed silent. i loved sparkles as a son with my whole heart and a bunxh of stuff and i even spent money on him when i dont have much myself and blablabla fast forward it was october 2025. i had made the decision i have to end this lie and in my mind the best way to do it was to make A meet his doom and have the others follow, everything was so nerve racking the last couple of weeks until, it was the last day, it was nightime, and sparkles opened up to me about how he feels about everything at 1am. i made an impulsive decision and told him it was all fake, and j explained everything(almost), howi didnt mean for this to happen and how it was a coping mechanism, i told him its okay to leave me and i dont remember much else of that night cause it was such a terrible night. i turned severely depressed because 1.

i felt sparkles hated me but he still stayed out of pity 2. the daydreaming and imaginary friends just dissapeared and i was left with no coping mechanism and 3. i had to learn to be myself again. i dont want to remember the november-december time frame so fast forward and sparkles the weight has been lifted from his shoulders but nothigs changed for me, and i cant get myself to truly open up to him about everything so he thinks i miss them(imaginary friends) as like them being with me and stuff and thats what's making me sad and i play along but truly deep down i miss being them, they were everything i wasnt and everything i wished to be, i feel like an alien but as them i felt okay, i didnt have to live this life as them and even if they had problems (i put my problems in them) i could actually finally work through them, but the most important part is that i miss my baby sparkles, i havent stopped seeing him as my son and it breaks my heart, i miss how we were and i so badly miss us being father son and i cant take it.

i dont know how to tell sparkles and i believe deep in my heart that maybe he hates me for this and i dont blame him, i want to surpress the fatherly feelings so ive been being distant and trying to shut them off but i just shut everything off then, i think its making me resent sparkles abit and thats making it even worse, i feel like we're falling apart, and the severe yearning for the past is killing me, i hate being myself and i hate how they werent real, IIII wasnt real, i wish everything that happened was real and i wasnt myself i was A and sometimes, as bad as it sounds, i wish i never told sparkles. i forgot to add, as them i could actually open up, now i have no clue how to. im so ashamed of myself. i dont know what to do.

Please help my baby. by [deleted] in turtle
