Question:
What are the exact things that are required of an adult child to fulfill the basic law of kibbud av Veim. In this case the parent and child in question are estranged with the parent having told the adult child that they didn’t want to have any involvement in the adult child’s life a number of years ago.
Thank you for clarifying
Answer:
Hello,
If the parent doesn’t want the child to be involved in his/her life, then the child essentially will not be able to perform most of the requirements of Kibbud Av Vem. I don’t know your situation, but what you should do as a child, is to try and repair the estranged relationship. This might take time, thought and effort, however in most cases, it will be worth your while. If you need any guidance, regarding you personal situation, you can speak with your local Rov, or if you would kike you can reach out to us, and your question can be answers privately.
Best wishes
