I agree with his advice because problems are part of our life. When we share our problems with others, we are halfway to solving them.
I disagree with his advice because I don’t think communication can solve the problem between his parents. Maybe he can write letters to his parents to talk about his feelings. If they often argue about chores, they could also ask a cleaning lady to help with the housework…
