We have the same combination of habits at our house. For me throwing away clutter and unused items is cathartic, for dh it's a divorce. We got married in 1980 and I kid you not, he still had 60s bell bottoms and polyester leisure suits in his closet; not to mention every bill and receipt he'd ever gotten. I managed to bribe him away from the clothes by hiding them in a bag for 6 months and then pointing out he hadn't even missed them.   It's gotten better over the years, but not much. He currently has an accumulated wardrobe with a range of about 5 sizes - all of course progressively larger. (As are mine - I just get rid of them every few years.  ) Now I wish I'd hung on to some 60s stuff as my kids occasionally need costumes for events at school!  I'd never admit it to dh as he'd just tell me "I told you that stuff would be needed sometime!" |

Mother's Day around the bend and
birthday and anniversary coming, always ignored
it has been, for many years....
her special days are never forgotten
"never do for her" she says
tired of it all, so tired.
(on a happy note, hope you are enjoying your new home, Ma and Pa!)

No one tells you before hand!
RAD attacks the heart....hold on!
Want to heal them but can't
You love unconditionally, they reject repeatedly
They are in so much pain
Beautiful little children filled with rage
Healing can happen...don't give up
It's not their fault....blame adults
In short lives, so much pain
push and pull, push and pull
break the walls with constant love
Don't forget yourself....they need you
Absolutely the hardest job on earth!!!
