Dear LFTP: disowned by the family

• My husband ('Howard') was disowned and disinherited by his family - how do we deal with it?

A listener writes that her husband 'Howard' was disowned and disinherited after his father demanded a divorce he would not grant. The hosts - one speaking from personal experience of being disinherited - advise accepting what cannot be controlled and refusing self-blame. The secular answer: do not blame yourself; the only winner here is whoever poisoned the family's perception.
