[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 688171, member: 19905"] It is all clothes. I had to wash every single item because I had to go retrieve it from her house. Her meth house. They smelled so bad that I couldn't bring them in my house until they were washed. And going through her house? The most horrid experience of my life. The clothes are stored in suitcases in a closet but every time I open it, I am confronted with the memory of going through that house. Sometimes I just avoid that room completely. But on the flip side, if she does this as a way to keep an "in," I feel guilty if I discard it. Even though I am distancing myself from her for now, there is always a possibility, regardless how small, that can change. In her mind she may need an "in." She will always have that if she is willing to change. So how do I reconcile the feelings? The stress of confronting her (literal) baggage over doing something that may unintentionally make her feel discarded? [/QUOTE]
