[quote=Anonymous]Your son should not have chastised you that “the family“ needs to take a better care of his stuff. But if he wasn’t really directing that comment just at you, but just kind of in general, then maybe ask him for ideas or ask him if he would like to come over and and go through everything, inventory it, and better organize it for storage in your garage. You can also let him and your other kids know that they are welcome to take anything now that they want.

At some point when you are all calm and he seems receptive, we may like to revisit this. Start out by saying all the positive things about how your ex was a good father and you know that he cared very much about his kids. Then you can say, “now that you are an adult“ and get into a little bit of the spouse dynamics and explain that you have already grieved the marriage and grieved your ex, and you are building another life for yourself. Your son thinks you and your ex are family because you are both his family, and you are connected by virtue of being his parents so maybe tread a little more lightly on that and take comfort in the fact that you aren’t doing anything wrong.
