The Catholic Feminist

143: Sacrificial Love and Adult Caretaking ft. Katie Pyles


Listen Later

Anger. Shame. Boundaries. These are the parts of care taking we *don't* often talk about. But the truth is, these are all too common when imperfect people are trying to attempt perfect love. Today's guest, Katie Pyles, has experience as a caretaker for an adult with special needs, and I'm so grateful she came on the show to share her story. Katie talks about how it isn't our weaknesses that harm relationships, it's the way we deny to acknowledge them or get support for them--that really resonated with me. We discuss what it was like to be a caretaker immediately upon getting married, what Katie wishes she had known before embarking on the journey of care taking, and what's been bringing her closer to God lately. Enjoy!
