suffering in my parents' lives

How can an effect like that have only one cause?

Do you mean that their source of suffering = me + misguided beliefs, not just me?

Basically, yes.

I agree, but now I'm not sure how I'd rephrase it.

There's no law that says reality must be describable in simple English.

I don't criticize what you wrote! I ask you to not believe a thing merely because the thing is the exact meaning of words you selected, when you selected those imperfectly-fitting words because there were none better.
