I am the product of a Catholic upbringing and education> If that wasn't bad enough as I developed(gay): My mom would wake me up sprinkling holy water on me. More than once it was described as "the sin even Christ couldn't forgive".To make matters worse the neighborhood toughs gave me a tough time. I got involved in drugs to kind of throw them off the trail, and ended up with Hepatitis, it almost finished me off. My parents never discussed it but accepted me and even came to visit Partner and me in later years- a long trip from NY to CA. The hepatitis ended up with a liver transplant at age 50
