    There are several stories here about sibling rivalry, some make you laugh some make you cry and some make you wince.

    I liked the one where the sisters told their brother that he would turn into a girl when he was nine. A dream for so many here.....

    Why not read a few and add your own story?

    hugs and kisses

    Well, that certainly killed off that forum, shame really as it was another pleasant thought provoking idea from Pauline...

    sorry , but when i told my sister,
    she said she wanted nothing to do with me ,
    we havent spoken for 9 years now .

    but since then ive found out her daughter is gayand she accepts her.

    my mother accpeted when my cousin said he was gay, but when i joked about wearing womens clothes, she went mad, and said I bloody hope not, I said it to see her reaction and it just happened how I thought she would react, I think that even one of her long time friends son is gay and she accepts him no problem, my mother and her friend go on holidays and the son and his mate take them and then collect them from the station or airport always, but then my relationship with my mother has never been good anyway, so maybe I should tell her, I know the rest of the family will know within hours, but its how they treat or react to me afterwards

    Its your choice Samantha. I guess it depends on whether you value their opinions and on whether or not you want to be Samantha with your family.

    I told mine and those family members who know are very supportive; for many reasons I chose to be in drab mode around my family, and I still do that.

    So there are alternatives to WW3 and total conflict which are acceptable to both sides - in some families not all families of course.

    I wish you luck

    hugs and kisses
