May I Disinherit My Right-Wing Daughters?

The magazine’s Ethicist columnist on when tribalism tears a family apart.

Even though my daughters grew up in a very progressive household, they have embraced the opposite political side from me. My granddaughter hears all the talk in her family, and I feel sure she believes she is hearing the truth. One of my daughters also does not believe in the vaccine and did not have my granddaughter vaccinated. I do not discuss politics with them any longer. They get all their information from the internet and don’t read the mainstream press. The worst thing of all to me is that they believe the election was stolen.

SCITECH | In a Feb. 10 press release, the Yale New Haven Health System announced an expansion of its hospital network as part of a larger agreement with the Prospect Medical Holdings Incorporation.
