Midlife Crisis

Chapter 7
Losing Self

Chapter Description: As things get bigger for Susan, she starts to lose more and more of her former life

In the middle of the night I awoke to a wet bed. I quickly got up and looked in the mirror thinking that I had gotten even younger, but thankfully that was not case. I looked back over to my bed noticing the glass of water next to my bed. No doubt Megan was the culprit. I looked over to find her still fast asleep, smiling as she slept. I couldn’t help but get angry watching her sleep so peacefully, while she continued to mess with me to know end. Unfortunately, my anger caused the familiar tingling to return and by the time it ended I figured I lost another year. I couldn’t help but let out a tear, as the girl in the loose Hello Kitty nightie stared back at me. This wasn’t what I wanted at all, to be the victim of my daughter. Would she be satisfied if I where a baby again? Or would she try to regress me even then?

I decided that enough was enough. Regardless of what consequences that might come from this I decided to let Richard know about what Megan was doing. I quickly changed my pajamas into something that was better fitting and dry. As I walked along the hallway to Richard’s room, I couldn’t help but notice that the hallway that I walked daily seemed to be about twice the size as normal.

“Hey Richard, Richard.” I said trying to wake Richard up.

“What is it Samantha? Did you have a bad dream?” Richard replied. Samantha? I didn’t want to think about it but we were about the same age. At the rate things were going it wouldn’t be much longer before she would be the older one.

“Richard, its me, Susan!”

“Susan? What is it sweetie?” he started to stir a bit. “Hey did you get younger again?”

“Yes, and its all thanks to our daughter.”

“What do you mean?”

“Megan has been taking advantage of the fact that I’m littler then her. She’s trying to humiliate me and make me her slave, and on top of that, I think she’s purposefully trying to make me get younger!”

“I don’t think that Megan would honestly try to regress you Susan.”

“No, she is! I know it! She keeps smiling evilly that would rival any James Bond villain!”

“Sweetie, maybe you should just go back to bed. We can talk about it in the morning.”

“Why don’t you believe me? After all, we can’t find that pill bottle anywhere in the house and we left it back in the room!”

“Susan... Well, I’m worried that the fact that you’ve gotten younger has been a little too stressful for you.”

“I’m fine Richard! And I’m telling you that she’s trying to regress me! Believe me!”

“Susan, we’ll talk about in the morning now go to bed.”

“No! I want to talk about why you don’t believe me now!” With that, Richard quickly got up. He then picked me up, almost effortlessly. “What...what are you doing?” I asked nervously.

“Punishing a bad little girl who won’t go to bed!” he said and with that he flipped me over and promptly gave me a hard spanking. The pain was searing on my little behind.

“Ow! I’m not a little girl Richard! I’m your wife! Please stop this!” I shouted as he continued to spank me.

“And I believe you told me to take care of you. However, little girls who don’t listen to the people who take care of them have to be punished!”

“Please, Richard! Please stop!” I cried, tears rolling down my cheek. I feared that the tingling would start again any moment, and I didn’t want to get any younger. He then stopped spanking me.

“You promise to be a good little girl Susie?”

“Yes, Richard” I replied softly as I got down off his lap.

“Alright, now get some sleep Susie, and we will talk about Megan later today.”

I walked back to my room in deep thought. Yes I did ask Richard to take care of me, but did he really have to spank me? And why didn’t he believe me that Megan is trying to regress me? I never did get the chance to ask him. He was already off to work by the time he got up and he got home really late. He also didn’t talk to Megan at all, as the tortures that she had continued. This continued for several weeks and I couldn’t help but feel that Richard was pulling away from me. The time he was home he was very tired and barely even acknowledged me. Megan had proven unsuccessful at regressing me any further. One time she forced me to do her homework for her, however as I looked over the problems, I couldn’t remember how to do them. A lot of the problems weren’t complicated at all; stuff that at one point I knew how to do without any problem whatsoever. Now I even had problems with multiplication!

That wasn’t the only thing I noticed was wrong either. Carrie had continued to come over and baby-sit me after school. We would talk about various things, such as cool clothes, but over time I started thinking more and more childish outfits were cooler. Carrie was the one who noticed this trend first.

“So, Susan you really like that Hello Kitty outfit?”

“Yep I sure do. It’s super cool!”

“Uh, Susie? Can I ask you something personal?”

“Sure Carrie, what is it?”

“Do you remember ever having sex?”

“Uh...well I know that I did at one point but I can’t remember anything about how you do it.” I truly didn’t remember anything about sex. I couldn’t even remember ever having breasts. “I know of course that sex is for big girls.”

“Big girls, huh?” Carrie replied concerned. “So Susie, do you remember anything at all from when you were a big girl?”

“Well, I remember that I’m supposed to be a big girl, but everything else is really kind of hazy.”

“I see...well I think that outfit is really cute.” She smiled as we continued to browse through magazines. We never did get a call back from the doctor’s office. As expected, they weren’t really going to be of much help. Thankfully I hadn’t had any large regression spurts. However at the same time I couldn’t say that I was getting any older either. I put up a growth chart in my room to see if I was getting any bigger. I actually noticed that that the mark wasn’t getting any higher. Samantha on the other hand had hit a small growth spurt and soon was slightly taller then me.

Still Samantha and I became very close. Her birthday was coming up meaning that she would be ten years old, the same age as me. It was amazing how similar we looked; we could almost pass as twins. Meanwhile, these days my husband was nowhere to be found. One day, I decided to surprise him by coming into work. I was actually surprised to find him leaving work much earlier then expected. I decided to follow him to see where he went. He didn’t take his car; rather he walked a few blocks to a big office building. It looked familiar, like I might have gone there at one point when I was older, but I couldn’t remember when I went there. I followed him up the stairs to an office building. The door closed behind him and I couldn’t help but stare at the words ?Rejuvenation Clinic’ on the front of the door. What could Richard be doing here? I slowly but cautiously opened the door. I peeked through and I saw Richard, but he was not alone. He had his arms around a very young woman, and was kissing her!
