They though if
Bruce was brought up as a girl (and later got female hormones), then this was the best solution.
When
Bruce found out the truth, he underwent surgery to look like a man. He said he never felt comfortable as a girl. He married and got step-children.
But his brother
Brian committed suicide. Later, after loosing a lot of money, Bruce/David also comitted suicide.
I think the whole thing was such a trauma that the sons were affected for life.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
