[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 688277, member: 19905"] It is almost symbolic, the holding on of the their things. As though we hold onto the values they should have, everyone should have, in the hopes they will one day be willing to receive them. I have a feeling my daughter will do the same, Tanya. She has set me up for damned-if-ya-do and damned-if-ya-don't situations more times than I can count. If I hang onto it all, I can easily see her laughing at me for keeping clothes she would no longer want and had totally forgotten about. Then her lack of gratitude and ugliness for what she would see as my ignorance would hurt. But if I go ahead and donate it so it would get use, I could see her blowing up on me for doing the wrong thing AGAIN. It would be her tirade and verbal assault that would hurt in that scenario. I have had it go each way several times so it is often a lose-lose deal more often than a win. [/QUOTE]
