Default They'll change when they see you've changed.

So I would feel bad if I would not give something back to them and let them enjoy the same relief when this burden of limiting beliefs is lifted. It is not that they have to change, I want to give them this opportunity. If they are not receptive to it, it is perfectly fine. I am not going to sulk or be dissappointed or something. Why can such impulses not come from me,who is closest to them both in terms of relationship and psychology.
Read my earlier post. I really think that being around them and not reacting when they hit your triggers makes them truly think about what they're doing to you and causes a major shift in their thinking. I've seen it. I've accomplished the impossible with my parents. Our relationship is totally different now.
