[quote=Anonymous]OP, don’t get yourself worked up over someone else’s issues. We all have issues. Maybe this wasn’t mental illness per se, but it was something: maybe it was grandparents who gave her Barbies but insisted she keep them in the box, maybe it was Depression-era thinking that I know firsthand gets passed down in a lot of cases (stories about my grandmother and her sister sharing two dresses between them during college, and boy were they lucky to go to college), etc. Cultural factors, parental influence, etc. What was a waste to you might have been her way of honoring her family or even looking toward the future—think of the symbolism of actually drinking that champagne, because you’re admitting to yourself that there WON’T be better days ahead. She held on to stuff. Don’t you hold on to her issues.[/quote]
