Mariam assisted a family through their family disputes. Despairingly she told the Rabbi, "They care more about holding a grudge than having solid relationships."
Rabbi Jesus answered, "They hold on to the past at the expense of their present, and so the future withers away."
Forgive and do not hold a grudge. Life is too short. God put us on earth to love our family members, not to dislike them. If family members reject your olive branch, well at least you tried. Sometimes you can't win them all.
