Rebecca: 我最近因各种原因离开了犹太教堂，我的丈夫是天主教徒，所以我决定皈依天主教，并希望与他一起参加教会活动，也希望让孩子们受洗。我担心这会让我父母心碎，因为这像是对他们价值观的否定，而不是对他们养育我的感激。 我父母对犹太教的信仰更像是文化上的认同，而不是虔诚的信徒。我担心他们会觉得我抛弃了他们教我的东西，而不是看到这是我人生的下一步发展。 我不确定他们是否会因为失去我而心碎，还是因为他们不得不向朋友们解释我的决定而感到难过。我认为这更像是抛弃感，而不是对我的价值观或他们自身的质疑。 Dr. John Delony: Rebecca，你比任何人都了解你的父母，你已经预料到告诉他们你的决定会让他们心碎。这是否是你确信的，还是你只是在假设？ 我认为关键在于，你不能控制你父母的反应。试图通过公关手段来处理这件事，或者试图隐瞒真相，只会适得其反。 我建议你坦诚地告诉他们，表达你对他们养育你的感激之情，并解释你皈依天主教的原因。强调这并非是对他们教养方式的否定，而是你人生旅程的延续和发展。 保持冷静和坦诚，用事实说话，不要拐弯抹角。表达你对他们的爱和尊重，并希望他们能够继续参与你的生活。记住，你无法控制他们的反应，但你可以控制你如何与他们沟通。 不要使用含糊其辞的表达，例如“我想去参加证实仪式”或“我想开始……”。要明确地告诉他们你的决定，例如“我下个月将受洗，我的孩子们将在二月份受洗，我希望你们能够参加。”
