Family and orphan points

I joined Skywards last year and accumalated a reasonable number of points. I just joined my family, set up a family account and changed my earnings so points go to that family account. Now it seems that I am unable to pool the points originally earned with the family points. Emirates flat refuses to do anything that would help me not waste the orphan points, which obviously is entirely their prerogative, but it seems daft to work this way. Is there any recourse or workaround here?
