This is the kind of response one would expect from a storage facility, not a family member. What OP's mother did was crazy wrong. She gave away things that did not belong to her. She guaranteed pain and conflict between her children by doing so.

OP, what's up with your mom? She sounds like a terrible person and was probably hard to have as a mom. I'd be pissed, too.

The only thing to help you is, you really wouldn't want those knives, from your first wedding, in your new home, with your new family. Your mother did you a favor in that way, b/tch that she is. Think about that whenever you get angry about it. The books can be replaced, one by one.[/quote]

She doesn't talk to her family and hasn't for years. OP is nuts. [/quote]

Op here. I talk to my family every few months. I haven't seen them in 5 years because they choose not to visit and I can't afford the time off or the plane tickets. I limit my communication with them for a variety of reasons--such as them being Jordon Peterson fans and then saying cruel things about the fact I married a white man (they are not white). And then they will turn around and trash people of color and anyone not their sect of Christianity. And I am going to hell for getting a divorce and remarried. There were some really good comments about how it really is the treatment over the years and the knives are just a symbol of it. [b]I also have a bad knife block that doesn't fit the hodge podge of knives I have and I cut my hand not to look ago putting knives away. [/b]I think I just need to grieve and accept my mother is horrible and move on. [/quote]

OP you are nuts. This sentence alone is such a red flag. Maybe/probably your family is also bad but oh boy, you inherited it. [/quote]

Not OP - but not seeing what about that sentence is a red flag? I honestly don’t get it. [/quote]

Np, guessing because it's bs and ragey. Internal dialogue: I cut myself and it's my mom's fault for giving away my knife block ten years ago!

She's acting as if this grievance from ten years ago is the reason she still can't store knives properly.

It's the type of reasoning abusers engage in. Nothing is ever their fault.[/quote]

No, she's explaining why the memory resurfaces -- she cut herself on her cheap crap and was reminded of the nice quality set her mom gave away to her sister. Seems reasonable enough.[/quote]

OP is a grown ass woman with a spouse and children. There are a dozen ways to acquire and store perfectly adequate knives for less than $50. OP has had ten years. Anyone telling you they cut themselves on their knives because their mom gave away some knives ten years ago is a certified nutbar. [/quote]

Uh, read the post you are replying to.[/quote]
