I have always find it hard to let go of things, whether they are important or not. As a child, I remember crying and being agitated when my mum got rid of my ancient bed and I refused to sleep in the new one for several nights. I broke my heart and was so upset for my mum when the brand new toy umbrella I got for Christmas blew away just a week or so later. Fast forward, as an adult, I am not exactly a hoarder by any means, but I find it very hard to detach and take old clothes to the clothes bank, or replace an item of furniture etc. I currently have 3 single mattresses from when the kids were still at home. These were going into storage as far as I knew, but I have been told today that there won't be any room for them, and they will have to be dumped or sold. The person who is dealing with this, said they would buy new ones for when my grandson is older, but I feel quite stressed and resentful over this. I guess it's mostly down to my resistance to change, but explaining the stress involved is stressful in itself.
