Navigating Caregiving Dynamics
Anonymous Blushing Plum #843 · General Confessions
As a trans woman in my 30s who has recently taken on the role of caregiver for someone younger than me, I've found myself drawn to certain dynamics that feel oddly reminiscent of a nurturing parent-child relationship. This isn't about romantic interest or typical adult desires; it's more about providing care and structure in a way that feels deeply rewarding yet slightly unsettling at times. I'm wondering if others have experienced similar feelings while caregiving, does this make sense, or is there something else going on that I might be missing? Is there advice you'd offer for maintaining professional boundaries while still feeling fulfilled in this role?
