I think that is a good point. I think had my brother not tried so hard to "patch things up" my parents would have not tried so hard to keep their distance.
Gilda, it is clear that your sister and Grace treasure you and I wager that they are right in doing so. There is no more of a chance that your parents can at this point change your sexual preference any more than they can change mine. They need to accept that and move on. As others have pointed out the ball is in their court.
I suspect you do not need any of us telling you what an amazing and special person you are as Grace and your sister are more than likely taking care of that. And I also suspect that any apparent lack of concern from your parents concerning your recent hospitalization stems more from foolish pride than a lack of caring.
