Can Kristen Stewart Earn Back Respect of Robert...

Is it possible for Kristen Stewart to earn back the respect of Robert Pattinson's family after cheating on Rob with Rupert Sanders? A relationship expert says yes, but patience will be key.

According to a report from Hollywood Life, relationship expert Diana Falzone says she thinks Kristen can convince Rob's family she is worthy of both their love and their trust.

"His loved

ones have every reason to not trust her yet it was one mistake made at a young age. This will take time. After all, actions, not words count," Falzone says.

If you were Rob's parents or his sisters, would you have a hard time accepting Kristen back into the family fold? She hurt their son and brother horribly, and that kind of transgression requires time to forgive.

Hopefully Robert Pattinson's family can eventually find it in their hearts to forgive Kristen Stewart, but that's likely to depend on Kristen's attitude more than anything else. As long as she doesn't push them and doesn't appear upset when they don't welcome her with open arms right away, they may very well welcome her back into their family after a bit of time.

And that's going to be very important to Rob and Kristen's relationship. Family estrangement can complicate things for even the most secure couples.
