Oh Dan, I wish i could just come and help you with anything you may need. I did navigate through that narrow space, having crafts, paintings, musical instruments, Native American jewelry collections. I left it all, only taking what meant the most, only focusing on things that brought me joy and had a purpose. After the divorce, it seemed easier to let everything go rather than it all be divided by lawyers, or passed on to my oh so sentimental son who would carry his mothers 1972 guitar around for the entirety of his life, if i let him. Instead of holding on to things collected throughout the 21 years of marriage, things that included old redone muscle cars, rooms full of guitars and amplifiers. I had everything a girl could ask for. Having come from a very poor family, I had found myself collecting a lot of things that had little or no purpose, but yet meant so much, atleast at one time in my life. I decided to keep very little. One guitar, one amplifier, one bass guitar, and one drum set. I chose to sign away everything, so that Mike could keep the house and cars for Benjamin and so my son had a place that never changed. When I go back to my former home for pick up and drop off, every other week, I still see the house that I turned into a home. All decorations are still in place, all our pictures still on the walls. I was successful at keeping Benjamin's space unchanged, even after so many changes had occurred. I think I am still navigating this new life, still learning, still trying to learn the 'new way'. But with the hand of my smiling son, I will continue to navigate these narrow spaces. Even after 3 years, the narrows still present themselves. Thank you for sharing, as it helps me reflect. Thank you for everything 😀
