Comment on How to stop a parent from jumping into the nearest religious rabbit-hole to cope with a divorce?
velummortis@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 hours agoI can tell they want emotional support through all this and usually that’s really easy to help them through because all I need to do is sit and listen to them go through the grief while giving input if they ask and stuff but when they suddenly lurch into the Repent Session it’s like a completely different conversation is happening.
Any interaction, real-life or social media could trigger it. Like if they see a testimony of someone’s divorce story on tiktok, or if they got bad service at a restaurant, and especially when dealing with the legal process and settlement. And most of all when the televangelists are on TV or social media.

You may want to deflect with a simple “I’m not going to judge someone for doing their best” or something similar
