Communication

They condemn themselves to live with their made-up believes and assumptions, based on hopelessness, shame or denial. These beliefs keep turning and growing everyday in their heads like a snowball. Their perspective becomes narrow. Parents then become non-factual and their actions will be less effective, due to being based on illusionary foundations.
What should these parents do?
