[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 723537, member: 13303"] Just a final update on this thread. Wife and I visited YS yesterday, his last day of inpatient hospitalization. After the family dramatics of the previous day we had no idea what to expect. As it turned out he was friendly, seemed happy to see us, and was more engaged with us than usual. He even wheeled himself into the hallway to escort us to the elevators at the end of the visit! YS is definitely confused. He seems very easily influenced by whomever he is with at the moment. Last night he had a very difficult time maintaining the thread of conversation. He seemed more cognitively impaired to me than he has in some time. The complaints we've known about for years are being magnified by his grandmother and his father, and YS is picking up on that. Wife and I are feeling that YS may be struggling with his sexuality. I've spoken of this before. It is a classic case of "protesting too much." Many times in the past YS has spoken very defensively about "not being gay." He is homophobic, more so than others of his generation which by and large, is far more accepting of sexual diversity than my own. But oddly, he has always enjoyed dressing up as a female. We have a recent picture of him with his girlfriend. He is wearing blush and eye shadow - he looks beautiful to be honest! Then last night YS, out of the clear blue, began speaking of a male friend whose mother accused YS of "molesting" the friend (I've mentioned this incident here too). He described this woman's anger and the threats she made toward him. He referred to it as "funny" (this situation is a good example of the cognitive challenges we are seeing). My theory is that since wife is obviously lesbian, YS may believe he has inherited his same-sex attraction from her, which would explain some of his rage toward her. I will continue telling this story under the new thread I just posted. [/QUOTE]
