Maintaining family ties with relatives who are not interested in maintaining family ties

Q: As a Muslim, one should maintain contact with relatives. But what if the relatives do not have adab and akhlaq or are not interest in holding contact with me? What should I do about this?

A: Just meet them briefly and move on, you will be blessed with maintaining a good relationship. The blessings are immense. Why should you deprive yourself because of their behaviour?

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
