Not trying to take sides here or anything and we're all adults and can sort out shit out and honestly everyone should just take a giant step back - but to play devil's advocate when you are literally hunted for what you are, it can be hard to not go there. My own dad tried to "cure" me of being a vampire, that stuff sticks with you. It's easy to read into things. Doesn't mean it's right to, or there is anything to read into, but it's an easy trap to fall into.
