Lauren: 我从小就没有和父亲建立联系,他离开家庭后从未尽到责任,现在他年事已高才试图修复关系,我觉得这很虚伪和自私。他多次结婚,他的妻子曾写信给我,希望我给他一次机会。我收到了他写给我的信,声称没有关系让他很痛苦,但我并不这么认为。我觉得他只是在临终前才想起我们,这让我感到愤怒和受伤。我不想见他,也不想打电话给他,但我需要表达我的感受。 Dr. Laura: 面对父亲的联系,Lauren应该直接表达自己的感受,指出他多年来的忽视和自私,并拒绝进一步的联系。你可以写信告诉他你的感受,让他知道你对他的行为有多么失望和愤怒。告诉他,他多年来只顾自己,现在才想起家庭,这太虚伪了。你们之间没有感情基础,你不需要原谅他,也不需要给他机会。你应该保护自己,不要被他操控。 Dr. Laura: Lauren应该直接而坚定地表达自己的感受,无需顾虑父亲的感受。她应该明确表示,父亲过去的所作所为让她深受伤害,并且她不会原谅他。她应该拒绝任何进一步的接触,并保护自己的情感健康。
