[He does, at least, pause at the explanation of her death. He's not made completely uncomfortable by discussion of it like most, but it doesn't mean he's immune to feeling empathy for the act. It's just much more commonplace than it perhaps should be.

Nonetheless it also answers his question: she wouldn't refer to her father as her friend. That much, Anya has taught him. Father is always Father, unless he is Enemy.
