9yo daughter regressing and scared of growing up.

My DD (9yo) has been regressing in some ways socially and emotionally.

I’m a single father, probably have her 70% of the time. Mother and I get along as co-parents but she doesn’t give a lot of emotional support and is kind of a mess. But daughter has been talking to me a lot about not wanting to grow up and doesn’t want to leave childhood behind.

A few examples are her asking me to tell people she’s 8 instead of 9, wanting to wear her dress up Belle dresses out in public like when she was 5-6, back to watching Peppa Pig all the time, wanting to have toddler style clothes and shoes, doing baby talk more than normal/usual, and some other signs just in her behavior.

The conversations we have about it, she gets very emotional and starts crying and sobbing. I don’t mind her watching Peppa Pig at all, it’s good content, and I let her wear her Belle dresses out for errands the other day but she then wanted to wear it the next day and has asked a couple more times in a week. I’m all for having fun and not caring what others think, but coupled with the other things I’m seeing I realize it’s part of something bigger going on. When we go to the toy aisles, she’s going to the toddler stuff now all the time.

I’m thinking this is just a phase and she will get over it, and I’m being as supportive as I can and just talking to her about how every stage of life is a good one and that I’m proud of her for how far she’s come with her schooling and everything.

I’m just curious if anyone else has dealt with something similar, how did you handle it and how long did it last.

Only family member not invited to wedding

39(m) and my daughter (9) were the only two family members not invited to a family wedding. the wedding was for my sisters husband side. one of his 2 nieces got married. We see them at family get togethers and holidays throughout the year but that is the only time we hang out, but conversation is always cordial and up beat. just about any major holiday we are hanging out. My daughter looks up to both of them as they are older than her but still young. the part that stings is the rest of my family was there. my mom, dad, sister, her kids (my two nephews). yesterday at a Father’s Day gathering at her house, they were all there except the bride and new husband and it just felt awkward. everyone was talking about the wedding and how great it was. it made me feel like a black sheep. I let my mom know how I feel when I found out I wasn’t invited but I haven’t said anything to my sister about it. I don’t think anyone cares. I almost didn’t go for the Father’s Day thing yesterday and I wish I hadn’t. I felt less than. I don’t think I’m going to go to any other gatherings if they will be there because I feel like they just tolerate me being there. I should note this was a big 300 person wedding so it’s not like a small gathering which I would have understood. Anyone been in a similar situation?

SR to Ibogaine

Has anyone used SR to come off your DOC and then gone into a flood dose after stopping SR? If so, how many days after stopping SR? I’m curious what the window of time needs to be so that there aren’t any issues like SR still being in your system and affecting the potency of the Ibogaine.
