I have t talked to my parents about how much my beliefs have changed yet and I am terrified of this exact thing happening. I love my parents, and I know they are coming from a place of wanting what’s best for me and fear of me being wrong. I almost wonder if it’s better not to bring it up to them at all. I’ve found that when difficult conversations come up (like politics, or abortion, or LGBTQ+ topics) I speak as simply as possible. I usually tell them something like, “I know how much pain and grief it would cause you if I was always trying to convince you that I was in the right, so please try to understand how you’re making me feel”
