Dear Nick,

It's very difficult for anyone here to give advice but I'm sure we all feel your pain with you. Is your nephew a monk or a novice? I'll assume he is a monk. It seems to me there are two separate points here: your nephew's becoming a monastic, and his attitude to his family. The first could be viewed as a blessing in itself, but the second shows that something is not right in your nephew's spiritual demeanour. I should want to know if the superior or spiritual director of the monastery is aware of your nephew's attitude to his family. Can you talk about this with whoever in the monastery is the right person?
