You know, Colin, some of it was un-necessary (to me) bringing up of the past, but maybe for them it was necessary because they are still working through all that happened in those days -- that is why my feelings on it all were so profoundly mixed - as well, the comment that "I wish you were straight because I wish you would marry my mother, you could make her happy, she needs someone like you, and I wish you were my step-father, why can't you be straight" is the most complimentary thing that that person could possibly offer me - mixed, mixed feelings - but a sense of being deeply accepted while at the same moment being made to feel so very,, very different - thanks for your words, Colin!
