Dear Queenie,
My parents have been divorced for a long time, and they both married again, but my father thinks that my aunts and uncles and cousins in my mother’s family are still his relatives because they are related to me.
Queenie, is he right?—Confused son
Dear Son,
That is up to your aunts, uncles and cousins on your mother’s side of your family. If they want to maintain the relationship they developed with your father during your parents’ marriage, so be it. However, if they do not want to maintain any relationship with your father, he should forget about them.
