Hi Ariesmars;

Sorry about what happened with your parents, when you get older you want to hold on to the past, so trashing items is very hard for them. It's all memories they have and keeps them young at heart, so don't take it personally, that's just how we get when we get older.

You did the right thing by coming here and talking. Keep strong and just do it a little at a time, maybe then they won't notice it as bad.
