[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to imagine if you haven’t been there but I now lie like crazy to my mother. I told her a co-worker (completely imaginary) was leaving an abusive marriage/ a neighbor is going back to school to better herself/ an acquaintance had a kitchen fire, etc; and they would love her plates, old coats, plants etc. Then I donated anything good but most went into the trash. It was just easier for her to let go of things if she thought someone wanted them. [/quote] This is a good strategy! It can (sometimes) work with cars too--when they shouldn't be driving but don't want to give up their car. [/quote]
