Hi everyone, looking for some advice again.

So the dilemma...

My neighbors and parents are at odds, VERY badly. I won't go too far into details. And my parent has asked me not to talk/wave etc to them. Today, the neighbor waved at me and I ignored her and walked away. I know it was wrong but in the moment I was so conflicted I just went on instinct. I felt terrible afterwards and prayed for forgiveness.
I don't know what to do if it happens again. Do I do the right thing if it means going against my parents wishes? And do I need to somehow apologize to the person? I don't know how to go about that at all, or if I even should?

I'm grateful for any responses

My advice is do your best to keep things peaceful as you can. If your parents profess Christ, remind them of Matthew 5:9. It's not easy getting along with everyone, but asking you not to wave back when someone waves at you can only make things even worse, not only for them, but clearly now even for you, since you're now feeling torment for violating your conscience in the matter. Your parents should be able to understand that what they ask of you is hurting you as well, and I shouldn't think they should be okay with asking you to do something that causes you to be hurt by your own actions.

EDIT- Never mind guys, please ignore this. Thank you to those who replied. I'll apologize if I ever bump into the neighbors again. Hope I didn't imply badly of my loving parents Stay blessed.

EDIT- Hey John, tried to PM you but I guess I don't have enough posts yet. Just wanted to say thank you for the advice but I just realized I was posting this for the wrong reasons. Stay blessed. Thanks again.
