Mickey raped his father.(spoilers)

Don't forget that when Mickey asks Consuelo what it means to be raped, she responds that rape is when you love someone, but they don't love you so you go and do something about it. Mickey then said that he loved his parents, but he did not feel like they loved him. He wondered if he could do something about it, and Consuelo said that maybe when he's older.
The Hypnosis part of the movie was Mickey "raping" his father by the definition provided by Consuelo.

whoa, can't believe that so many people including myself didn't catch this. It seems so obvious.

Everything stated above did seem obvious to me. However, the family's complacency toward Consuelo was a direct reflection of the "American" attitude toward minorities. This was overwhelming obvious to me as well.

That is pretty neat. So is Solondz actually telling the same story twice? There seem to be more parallels there.
