Boy do i hear that.
My mother was always, dont bring such type a man home! I was like, what are you talking about?? Plus, i think most of the family assumes im gay, which they dont approve of. Thing is, they were worried about it back when i was in high school or before, like before i had any idea what it was about.
So i wonder if part of the problem is, they have all these fears about you, which you unconsciously or even consciously were aware of, but like my family, they werent going to EXPLAIN anything, because if you didnt know, why should they tell you? But in the meantime, they keep looking for "signs". I bet you dollars to donuts your mother was waiting to hear you tell her you had run off to Fire Island, not that you were in a hospital. Or whatever the "worst thing that could possibly happen" is to them, like you met a divorced woman with children. Old country b.s.
