Up to a point, I understand where you are coming from. Seems a bit strange for your mom to chase away her children and family members. I had a similar feeling of anger some years ago when I found my wife (now EX) copying my mother's recipes onto fresh 3 by 5 cards. The recipe box was given to me by Mom, and had most of her handwritten recipes on 3 by 5 cards. Some were stained and faded from years of use. She thought she was doing me a favor by recopying them onto fresh cards. BUT - she was throwing the old ones away. I had a fit, and told her to NEVER touch that box again. Mom passed away 10 years ago, and this was one of the few mementos I had from her. The feelings of initially anger, then loss, and sadness follow. This too shall pass. Sorry if I seemed a bit harsh, but we are now grown men and women. We need to move on past the hurts and disappointments of life. There will always be things that we miss from the old days. I'm sure that many of my childhood treasures are probably in landfills somewhere. Mom did not know whether or how important they may be to me, but she knew that she needed the space, and out they went. It is a fact that I will never again play with my John Deere pedal tractor. I got too big and old for it. If I had it now, I would only wonder how much it is worth to me, and how much I could sell it for. Then, I probably could not bring myself to sell it anyways. Better that it is gone.
