it has been 3 years or so since i've last talked with my relatives on my dad's side. the conflict was basically about who's going to inherit which property.
it sucks to know how material things can ruin relationships. since then, i've started to believe that family ties WILL NEVER work for me.
and then last year, i never thought things would get any worse. i saw my uncle (my dad's brother) one time at my grandfather's grave and since there was great tension between us, it was very silent until he opened up and said something like 'your dad is such a liar that you should not believe him'
i walked out right away and before i knew it tears were just rolling down my eyes. i expected MORE from him since he's the mature one. considering that i'm only 20, i was expecting he would understand and think better.
since that incident happened, i never dared talk to him again but now i'm confused. is it time for me to forgive and to just forget? i need help.

I think it is always better to try and forgive people. It is difficult when it is family, especially when your parents don't like them too.
I think it is really sad when families argue about inheritence, but it often happens.
I think the best thing to do is to make a will yourself so it won't happen when you die.

I also experienced the same thing. At that time im really angry and promise to myself that the time will come that they will ask fo forgiveness especially to my mom. I fogrgive them but I don't made the first move to settle the gap in our clan. Time can heal and let you forget all the worst thing. Forgive him. If God can forgive then you also can. Good luck and God bless my friends. ^_^
