Yeah ... mine went with the "We aren't the only ones" argument. Which my calm reply, "You are right I am certain everyone will be so much better off this way" half meaning it and mixed in a bit of sarcasm ... something I have tried to stop personally as I realized its my passive aggressive attacks when I am not being clear in what I want.(Another growth topic for another time)
Truth is ... its out of our hands to a point, you can not trick/force them into a M they are hell bent on 'escaping' from, all one can hope to do is become a better person from all this regardless of the outcome. Keep your focus there, on THAT prize through all this.
