You are misinterpreting or better yet, not comprehending this verse. He's saying that if you hate your family and still try to repent and be forgiven, you will not be forgiven. Thus, you cannot be my disciple. So, what do those who are treating family members poorly with hatred to do? Repent and ask for forgiveness of your family. They did this scene recently in the show "The Chosen." And, after hearing the Lord say this, Matthew went to his father and asked for forgiveness and his father did likewise asking for Matthew's forgiveness and they made up. Jesus found out and was happy and Matthew could continue to be a disciple and even more, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ.Luke 14:26 - Bible Gateway

He said you have to come to him hating your loved ones... not literally hating them but rejecting them if they reject Him (is my take)
