I have been here almost 4 years, and STILL have stuff at my old house with my ex husband. who has been nice enough to let me keep stuff there. Well, he did take all my books and shoved them into hefty bags, which didn't go over well with me. I have collected books since my teens, and I do bring over a few every time I go back there. Shipping books is just impossible for me tho. Way too expensive.
If it's a matter of clothing Elizabeth, yes, be ruthless. Clothes are something you can replace anyway
Lynne,, sometimes he lets me 'visit' my pillow LOL,, do you know, the other night, he tried to convince me that it has ALWAYS been his pillow?,, pah,, when I showed him the tag inside that had MY name on it,, he tried to laugh it off LOL. He's such a brat
