Faith
Honoring Parents
Question
Hello and blessings,
I am a simple woman who loves Hashem with all my heart and wants to follow His ways forever.
Unfortunately, I have not been in contact with my mother for many years, and whenever I try to restore our relationship, she is unwilling to accept me, no matter how much I humble myself before her, which is very difficult for me emotionally. I want to fulfill Hashem's commandments and walk in His statutes, honoring my mother as required, but she refuses to hear about having a connection with me.
"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you," and the Creator comforts and provides at every moment, even if I were to turn the world upside down, I could not thank Him adequately for His kindness and goodness.
What can be done?
Answer
Hello and blessings, You are blessed to uphold the mitzvah of honoring parents in its fullest sense, even beyond the letter of the law. At present, you are exempt from doing anything further. When your mother feels moved to comprehend the great error of severing ties with you, then you will be able to renew your relationship with her. May you succeed, Binyamin Shmueli
