Question
I do not phone family members, and I seldom visit. They say I am breaking family ties. Are they correct?
Answer
It is necessary to understand the meaning of maintaining family ties. Maintaining family ties means that you should be kind to relatives. Do not fight with them. If they are in need, then assist them within the means of your affordability. Even if they are unkind to you, be kind towards them. Overlook the gheebat they make of you.
Family ties do not mean visiting unnecessarily or unnecessarily telephoning them. An occasional visit will be sufficient. As far as parents are concerned, they have great rights over the children. Therefore, visit them as much as they want you to visit.
