‘I’m sorry you feel that way.’ He’s sorry you think people should have equal rights?

It was actually about my job (I work for the federal government), but same issue. He, my mother, and my brother voted for something that directly impacts me.

There's a guy up thread saying I shouldn't take it personally, but how can I not? They're the ones making jokes about how hard I don't work.

Wow, a morality problem and an empathy problem, to their own kid no less. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that, and lessening contact (or cutting it) would be a perfectly understandable action.
