[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 688109, member: 19905"] The first time she did it, no, I didn't really have room and that is why it was in a place that didn't protect it from the elements. The agreement was for it to be temporary. When it began to literally go to rot and I could bear it no longer, I went through and discarded what was ruined and donated anything that wasn't. I have gone through all personal, sentimental items and have them boxed in plastic totes, marked, and tucked away. I am sure they will remain until my death. I don't even know if they are things that will mean anything to her and those things I do more for myself than her. The things she has left now are all clothes. Tons of clothes. They are more of an inconvenience than anything. Like Darkwing pointed out, she wouldn't even have them except when she had her accident, I scrambled around and got them. She would have left them behind but I couldn't do that. Then it became assumed I would keep them for her. Yes, she has the addict disrespect for her things just like people. Most things are broken, left behind, pawned, forgotten without a care. I quit buying her nice things a long time ago and switched to practical or useful. I hate confronting her things every time I open the closet, yet I don't know what to do. I cannot imagine just leaving my things scattered hither and yon without a backward glance. [/QUOTE]
