Topic started by 'loverman'

I live in Cambridge. I'm not wedded to the place. I generally get on best with men in their 30s/40s. Arts interests mostly ,politics and cars - bit of an anorak as far as cars are concerned!. I prefer spending time with men who don't smoke or see getting plastered and throwing up as one of the joys of life. Friends of Bill W welcome. No Leos, please. I'm not usually bothered

Starting a new thread, as I could have easily done this as a response on minimoo's latest:

I have just written Lasting Powers of Attorney for myself, for both financial matters and care.

My two attorneys (who also are the Executors for my Will) are two women friends.

My Sister (who I increasingly think of as my Mother's daughter, though she and I have the same parents) is excluded from both Will and LPAs, as his her son who has never been a nephew to me. he has other uncle type figures in his life, so I don't feel the need to fake a relationship on the grounds of shared genes and nothing else.

My two friends have three sons between them - all special to me. The youngest, at 5, has got into wearing ties in a very flash way, and shot upstairs yesterday to get his latest tie to show me - that kind of thing is 'family'.

How do other OUTers deal with total breakdown in their blood families? I comfort myself with the unavoidable fact that the rage and unreasonable behaviour of my Sister is beyond me as far as either fixing it or even accommodating it - a tough call for me, as from 1955 there was just her me and our Mother - and I as the eldest tried to ;ook after them both. It plainly didn't work - but that's her stuff.

Any comments welcome.
