[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have the money, you could consider sending it to a storage unit until you get through this tough time. I'm usually not for postponing decisions but I'm going through this exactly (except without an ex-DH's girlfriend) and my kids in their 20s seem numb to it but I think they are still processing and there will be sadness about their childhood stuff.

I kept way way way too many toys, clothes, and school stuff because we have a very large home with tons of closets and extra space for it. Downsizing is not what I had planned for at this time in my life. I'm bitter that I'm doing all the work. [/quote]

I was going to also suggest a storage space. But the reality is that you need to hold on to very little so I changed my mind.

Your child is an adult (processing divorce or not), and we all have to make decisions. Maybe they will regret throwing out X. But the reality is they won’t miss the vast majority of what they throw out. And all of us have thrown out an item or two (under totally normal circumstances) that we regret. Just a part of life. It happens. It will be okay. [/quote]
