[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 256514, member: 84"] I ditto Susie. Make sure to keep as much of his stuff as possible. It can be thinned out at a later date with him there to decide what goes. Something you may believe he has outgrown or couldn't possibly want anymore may turn out to be something very important to him. Example: Travis has a xmas bear from Elder Bearman's from when he was just a baby. Now this thing has been loved to death by him. And I know I've attempted to toss it out repeatedly. Yet somehow it keeps popping up in his room. lol So I finally gave up and just washed the darned thing as best I could.:raspberry-tounge: He will be upset for sure. But honestly, kids adjust to such things much faster than adults. Might take him longer because he's not with you, but he ought to work thru it ok. You're shrugging off the pain of the past and moving toward a new beginning for the both of you. It gives you both the opportunity for those old painful memories associated with the house to fade and eventually heal becasue they won't be "in your face" anymore. Glad he'll have support while you tell him. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
