Which gender asked you the rude questions? hmmm, reading your reply I suspect male homo - ignoramus. Similar to Karen I've never been asked such personal questions........... were the questions from a co-worker or public no-body? No you don't have to get yourself in check, stand up for yourself, I think I'd probably have said something far worse........ Glad the rest of it seems to be on-track, but I do know what you mean about psychologists, and psychiatrists are worse believe me......... but if you are referred to ChX GIc they are overall a pretty friendly lot. please keep us posted.
