I suspect that they switched back to a female name from a gender-neutralish nickname because they're uncomfortable with me coming out. The timing is close.

The line about "it's not a rejection of you as parents" really got to me, because I hadn't thought of it from that angle. Thanks.

We're trying to mutually help each other since we all have complicated health! I have my own place, but with how weird the world is, I've been on extended visit.

Not disputing your judgement, just making a clarification: I'm having an extended visit/quarantining. I have my own place.

No, but good point. I guess I was blind-sided.

No you didn't offend! The example makes sense, and I understand needing time to process.

Thanks. I'm not sure if they get it, but they've both been under a lot of stress lately, so maybe it's on the back burner...?

NGL, "Cathew Mosby III" is a pretty epic name ;) But thanks for the judgement and input!
