[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688166, member: 18958"] Yes. Not a lot. But yes. My son leaves his garbage around. It is hard to not react to his stuff because we feel, I feel trashed by him. So does M. We do not feel like free storage. We feel like we are forced to live with his garbage, almost excrement. That is not fun. I hang onto it forever, in black garden trash bags. Maybe 1 or 2 bags. Until four months ago I did. Then I donated the clothes. And then felt bad, because he came home and needed clothes. I felt bad. I agree with this. Your daughter wants a way back. She wants to feel you are taking care of part of her. I remember my mother gave my sister my room after I went away to college. (It was not like I did not ever come home. I did, at that time. When I expressed to my mother that I felt bad, she answered, [I]what did you expect that I would keep for you as a shrine? [/I] I guess I did. [/QUOTE]
