[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 409872, member: 1233"] Can I come over for dinner?? I like cake. Cake is good. Hopefully you won't have to clean her messes out of your house again. That is some consolation, I hope. As for getting rid of stuff she left that you don't want, there is an easy way if it is useable. Are you aware of freecycle? It is a group online that people use to give things away. You can post if you want or need something and if you have something to give away. I often post that I have X to give away and then give poeple directions to pick it up from my porch. If someone doesn't come when promised, I go to the enxt person on the list. You can also meet people to give them things, but with big items like furniture it is easy to have them pick it up. I have gotten and given big and little stuff - from clothes to tables and recliners. Things do not have to be perfect to give away. You can also contact Habitat for Humanity if you have furniture. They have ReStores in many communities that sell furniture and building supplies that are salvaged, used or donated. Often they have peopel who will pick up for you if you cannot deliver big things. If you don't want to be there or come to the door when they come, put things on the porch, label them and let them pick them up. I hope you can take some satisfaction in a clean house wehn you are done and can start to recover from all the stress and trauma from life with your difficult child for all of those years.
