My mother's family also has some weird interactions. No wonder I've been keeping contact with my mother at a minimum, and avoiding her mother at any cost.

my supervisor in Page said "You're a boy! You're weird!"
I was a 38-year-old 6'2" man with facial hair, so calling me a boy was strange.
Was I inherently weird to her for being male?

This sounds definitely like some things I used to hear my mother saying about every woman she saw as a "competitor", even when circumstances would render any competition unlikely at all
