The question

Am I sinful if I do not strive to maintain ties with my two aunts who have abandoned me because I filed a lawsuit against their two brothers, and they refuse to greet me, and their greetings are cold and demeaning?

The answer

There is no sin upon you for your aunts cutting you off; rather, the sin is upon them as long as you strive to maintain ties with them. We advise you to do your utmost to persuade them to reconcile and to express your eagerness for their affection. You should also involve a family member who can resolve the dispute and treat them kindly, enduring their harshness, for there is great good and reward in that. Remember that forgiveness only increases a servant in honor.
