To keep trying to reach out when someone has cut me off

[sillistudi]

Close family member has given me silent treatment since we had a row a few months back. I’ve honestly appraised situation & left msgs apologising for my part in it.. but they are refusing to engage with me. Without going into all the details just want a sanity check that im not stupid for keep reaching out. Not every day/ week but every few weeks just to show I’m ready to resolve this when he is. Would you do the same or just back right off?

Don't keep reaching out, you'll strain your arm. I'd definitely leave it. You've done as much as you possibly can and they've made their position clear.

I’m sorry to hear about your Mum OP. It is awful to go through the loss of a parent with who you have a close relationship with.
with all due respect, your brother has only responded with what he needs after you contacted him twice despite knowing that he didn’t want the contact. Without your messages it is doubtful that he would have made contact to issue the ‘ultimatum’.
please respect his wishes as you both navigate your way through the coming months. You need to find your peace with the situation and move forward.
