Question
I find it very difficult with one of my family members. I try to live peacefully with him and respect him as much as possible, but I still feel that his behavior makes it very difficult for me and might disturb the peace at home. I want to consult with someone who knows me so they can give me the most accurate advice on what to do, but I am concerned about lashon hara (which will likely occur in this consultation). This person knows my family a little. Is it permitted? In what way can it be done?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is permitted to consult in order to prevent yourself from difficulty, even if during the discussion there will be derogatory remarks about the person in question.
Of course, one should minimize the amount of lashon hara and not tell things that are unrelated to the matter.
