[QUOTE="DDD, post: 517544, member: 35"] Sending heartfelt thoughts your way. I had to empty, scrub, paint and replace easy child/difficult child's room when he left home and moved into GFGmom's house to drink, smoke etc. My pain was so deep that I literally couldn't cry it away..Lord knows, I sure tried. I spent two full days tackling his room with lots of sob breaks. on the other hand when the room had blinds instead of curtains, the bed was positioned differently and had new linens, the feel of the room was "adult"...I left the door open all the time. No more closed doors needed because there was no more need for secrets. I'm so glad you are taking these steps as it can be a way to purge some of the biggest pains. My only suggestion (which may not be applicable with your husband) ask your husband if he wants to help or participate in some way. My husband who is very quiet and not good at communication surprised me by saying "It looks great. I wish I had helped you." It never occured to me to share that pain..but in our case..it would have been a wise choice. Caring hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
