sounds to me like your cable slide is tearing up your string and cable. some of them will do that. your string and cable aren't touching are they?

RE: Question about bow string problem

You might want to try a different slider. They are pretty cheap to replace. Basspro stock a couple. A new slider will cost alot less than a new set of strings and cables but my guess is that the OEM stuff on a Parker are probably not the greatest anyway. I found my Reflex strings pretty poor quality.
