[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 688093, member: 4040"] Though our situation is different (Miss KT and I are now close), I have an entire bedroom full of her junk. She moved away five years ago. Hubby has hoarding tendencies, and has added to the disaster with his items, so I pulled the curtain (no door; she tore it off the hinges and threw it at me several years ago) and ignored. I finally began tackling it this spring. The prom dresses went to the Cinderella Project, to be cleaned and given to girls who can't afford to buy one. The yearbooks and the karate uniform/belts went in a box to be given to her when she has a house to put it in (they're in a small apartment). I also learned that she was too damn lazy during high school to get up and throw things in the garbage. I admit I was tempted to ship her empty lotion bottles, Snickers wrappers, a crushed box of tampons, a broken ponytail holder, a single sock, etc. that I pulled out of the closet, but my better nature prevailed. I would go through the stuff, pack up what you think will be important to her somewhere down the line, give away or trash the rest of it, and move on. Do it for closure for you. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
