I am what most would dub a 'shrink', and although this hasn't been an area I have gone into for a long time, your story is not all that uncommon amongst people that have been abused - which also in itself meant no surprise with your "I'm gay" speech.
Interestingly an old friend of mine used to tell me of his encounters with extraterrestrials. He is bisexual, if not exclusively homosexual. Divorced parents who moved thousands of miles from each other, he lived with his mother and step-father. He also told stories of his younger brother who had down syndrome and would repeatedly bite objects for some reason, usually tables. I never met this person, and I don't recall if there were pictures, or what his brother's name was.
