If a family member, that you really care about, told you to stay out of

[KNAPSACK]

their life, would you? Or would you continue to try to keep the lines of communication open?

[Cheyenne Rose]

no I would give them some space though. If somethings bothering them then they'll come around eventually and talk about it! If its serious then I would examine the situation a little and investigate!

[Conquistador]

Of course I would stay out of their life. They know where to find me. Forcing yourself on someone does no one any good.

[Brian W]

talk to them to feel closer or keep a journal of your feelings

[Been There~Done That!]

They would know how to reach you if they chose to.

But if you persist on a subject that is not welcomed then it will only get worse.

You do the right thing and let them know you care, you love them and want to be a part of their life. But since they chose to shut you out you will accept it and be there when they are ready to contact you. Wish them the best and walk away.

Then the regrets don't fall on your shoulders.

yes and be there when they need you. Even if they are family members they have their own lives.
