What Our Callers Say

What Our Callers Say

Real words from real people who found the courage to call.


I called from my car at two in the morning because I could not sleep and the weight of this secret had become unbearable. Pat answered, and within the first few minutes I was crying. She did not rush me or try to fix anything. She just listened. Then she said something I will never forget: “You have been so brave for so long, and you do not have to do this alone anymore.” Twenty-two years I carried this. Twenty-two years of silence. That one sentence cracked something open inside me. I have called back many times since that night. Each conversation peels away another layer of shame I spent decades building. I genuinely believe this service saved my life.

My husband told me about his ABDL side six months into our marriage. I will be completely honest: my first reaction was confusion, then fear. I did not understand it at all. I called on my own because I needed someone to explain what this meant without making me feel like something was wrong with the man I love. Cathy was extraordinary. She answered every question with patience and warmth. She never once made me feel foolish. She helped me see that this part of my husband is not separate from the person I married. It is woven into who he is. We are stronger now than before he told me. I truly mean that. That phone call saved our marriage.

Sarah was the first person who ever said “that is completely normal” to me about this. I am 29 years old and those four words undid years of self-loathing. I sat there on the phone and I just went quiet because I did not know what to do with the relief. Nobody had ever said that to me. Not once in my entire life. I think about that moment all the time now. When the shame tries to creep back in, I hear her voice saying those words, and it reminds me that I am not what I was taught to believe about myself.

Jamie L.

I am 61 years old. I have lived with this my entire adult life. Over the years I saw three different therapists, and not one of them knew how to handle it. One actually recommended aversion therapy, which only deepened the shame. When I called this line, Jennifer picked up and within minutes I knew I was finally speaking to someone who understood. She did not treat me like a case study. She talked to me like a human being who had carried something heavy for far too long. We spoke for nearly forty minutes that first time. When I hung up, I sat quietly for a long while, just breathing. It was the first time in decades I felt something close to peace about this part of who I am.

I was ready to give up on love. Every relationship followed the same pattern: get close, hide everything, live in fear of being discovered, then sabotage the whole thing before she could find out. Anna helped me think through when and how to have the conversation with someone new. We practiced what I would say out loud, which sounds awkward, but it changed everything. I told my girlfriend on our fifth date. She had questions. Anna had prepared me for every single one. We have been together for almost a year now and she knows everything. I do not think I could have gotten here without that preparation. Anna gave me the courage to stop running.

David K.

I am a woman in my late twenties and for a long time I believed I was the only female who felt this way. Every forum seemed to be entirely populated by men, and I felt invisible. Denise changed that for me. She told me that far more women experience this than most people realize, and the way she said it felt personal and real, not clinical. We talked about how my ABDL side connects to comfort and stress relief, and she helped me stop treating it like something that needed to be cured. I call about once a month now. It has become a quiet, important part of how I care for myself. Denise helped me understand that needing comfort does not make me weak. It makes me human.

When my partner told me he was an ABDL, I did not know what the letters stood for. I went online and what I found was confusing, sometimes alarming, and rarely helpful. A friend suggested I call this number before making any decisions. Helen spent nearly thirty minutes walking me through everything with patience I did not expect from a phone service. She explained the emotional roots, the range of expression, and most importantly, she helped me understand that this did not change who my partner is. That conversation gave me the clarity and compassion I needed to respond with love instead of fear. We are doing wonderfully. I am so grateful I called before reacting.

Tanya R. (partner perspective)

College student, 22 years old. I called during finals week because I was stressed, I was wearing, and I felt like a complete freak. I had never said the words “I am an ABDL” out loud to another human being. Evelyn made it so easy. She normalized everything I was feeling. She also helped me think through practical things, like managing my ABDL life with a roommate and breaking the cycle of buying supplies, feeling ashamed, throwing them away, then buying them again. That call cost me about twelve dollars and it was worth more than the hundreds I have spent on campus therapy where I could never bring this up. Evelyn did not just listen. She made me feel seen.

Chris W.

I was skeptical. I assumed this would be a line that did not take things seriously. I could not have been more wrong. Cathy was warm, intelligent, and clearly experienced. I struggle with depression, and the isolation of hiding my ABDL identity was making everything worse. She helped me see how the secrecy itself was feeding the depression. We talked about small, manageable steps I could take to feel less alone. I have since joined an online community she recommended and I am building real connections with people who understand. That first call was a genuine turning point. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is admit you need help.

Nathan P.

Three years of calling this line, and I consider Sarah one of the most important people in my life. She helped me through a divorce where my ABDL identity was used as a weapon against me in custody proceedings. She helped me rebuild my confidence after that nightmare. She helped me learn to set boundaries with people who do not deserve access to every part of who I am. I am a different person than I was three years ago, in the best possible way. The consistency of having someone who knows my story and genuinely cares about my wellbeing has been invaluable. Sarah did not just counsel me. She believed in me when I had forgotten how.
