From her perspective, the post disappeared, and then you never posted anything like that again! Everyone wins
Basically, he had been helping her out financially, and pulled it, because she refused to sanction her daughter-in-law on his behalf.
If you do so, you were a shitty relative to begin with.
Typically that has to be some extreme form of bigotry people won’t let go of after repeated coaching. Extreme bigotry or conspiracy thinking is arguably a form of abuse directed at other family members and it’s 100% ok to cut people off for being abusive.

Just because they say it's important, doesn't make it so.
…your family around the notional holiday dinner table? The personal is what’s important, kinda by definition. The point is the subjective and emotional.
Talk to me about all the gardening you're doing after retirement, about your new motorcycle, about the fishing this year, hell talk to me about your favorite sports team.
