I was just going to throw out some things that have been collecting dust. Anyway as I was throwing them out I thought to myself 'She's going to be mad if she finds out what I threw away'..........

She's not here anymore. We've been divorced for a while now......Was she that controlling that she still left an impression on me???? Has anyone else had an experience like this??

Maybe it feels that way because you are throwing out some of your history. Just a thought.

I just got a skip bin last week, its so full and that was after been seperated nearly 3 years, his own fault he didn't come back for stuff he wanted. Enjoyed filling it was like shaking the last cobwebs of my former life away.

If she has not needed the stuff for such a long time...she would probably throw it out anyway.

A few years ago yes... then I thought jeesh what do I care
what they would think? It's my life not there's...

Pitch it or donate it depending on what it is!

If you want the memories hold on to them...if you don't and you wanna be nice give them back to her...if you don't ....well thennn

I made sure that my ex took everything when I told him to leave. I did run across an old wedding pic a month ago. That was hard.

It's the brainwashing you got in your sleep!!
for a very long time after I would think.... Geee he would be so proud of me, he doesn't even have to be here & I do such a good job of torturing myself..

& Our stuff, OMG! 14yrs. after 3 differnt storages it finally got moved to the ranch in the garage that burnt down when the fires came thru there & going thru the rubble & I started throwing glassware against the retaining wall & it was going every where!!! It felt awesome!!!
My 2 friends threatented to go in the house if I didn't stop... party poopers!!
That was years of pent up anger...

Our past seems to always stay with us,I come across things myself at times.I hope in time you can make the right choice.
