Vent: My effing son(started to call him a mofo, but?)...turns out, instead of storing my packed things, all clearly marked ‘KEEP’, he got his wife and aunt to do it. Explains the broken and missing items. I can just see them dropping/throwing stuff, donating boxes filled with keepsakes, and laughing ‘oops’. I must be a terrible bad person to have ‘deserved’ all this destruction...I told him I had trusted him, which will never happen again and hoped they felt they had taken a big enough chunk of my ass...and now I’m no contact with him. Too harsh?!
Ugh, people can be such shits.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I was going to click on "angryface" emoji because a (more than slightly insane) housemate 25 years back decided out of the blue one day to bag up everything belonging to me and the two other girls sharing the house and dump the lot, so I fully sympathise with how annoyed you are. However, the "(started to call him a mofo, but?)" bit is so funny I had to choose "laughingface" empji instead!

? I’m trying to keep my sense of humor!
Children suck. I dislike all children,but it seems like that's the least they could do for you for the lifetime of money ,misery ,worry and pain that they probably have caused you throughout the years. Most kids do this to their parents however

Maybe in this country. Other countries revere their elders holding their life experience & support in high regard. Offering them security in their later years. Sort of investing in dividends. We here just dump the stock.
I must say, both of my children are jewels. I have no idea how they turned out so well, especially if you consider my ex and I as parents.
Nobody, nobody, owes you storage space!

He had kicked me out of his rental, after I refused to sign power of attorney. I’d been out of the hospital less than a week. I sold what I could; my son offered to move what I was keeping to my storage unit. Instead, his wife/aunt broke/damaged items, and much is missing. I’ve never treated any family as if they ‘owe’ me.
Fuck him.... you don't need that shit. As a matter of fact fuck all of em'.

It is sad you didn't know your son well enough to know this was going to happen.....and sad that he was not adult enough to let you know that he didn't care, was too busy, whatever......sounds like the learning experience was costly.

I for sure don’t need my own family making my life harder. Im in a grief process, I know, and have to process. Obviously im at an anger stage!
I hope we can chat soon?. I’ve been feeling much better the past few weeks.
@CarolinaGirl60 I'm really glad to hear you are feeling better...it sucks being sick. and you didn't need the careless uncaring actions of your family on top of it all!!!
ABSOLUTELY...I'd love to get together with you here we can chat about...whatever you like!!! Well...feel better babe, and let's chat soon!!!
@Bungaloebob check your messages
@CarolinaGirl60 YES MA'AM!!!!
That sucks.
When you cool off maybe talk. But that may take time - a lot of time. I'd be hurt and angry both right now. He could have been a damn adult.

I agree. I’m angry, and sad. Sad over losing keepsakes that can’t be replaced. Yes, they are just material things, but I already miss them.
@CarolinaGirl60 It's never the money - it's the memories.
No, not too harsh. Sometimes people are just horrible and do things deliberately, I hope that they did not do it on purpose. You always have us, don't forget.

I don’t forget; ya’ll are great.
The broken items were bubble wrapped and padded; marked fragile. Furniture scratched, etc. I hate to say it, but it looks deliberate. ?
