Drowing in clutter, need advice

[mrslisae]

First, a bit of history, I was raised in a violent home where there was always something wrong financially..I didn't have all that I needed..

I've been married 9yrs and have again been faced with years of financial difficulty. I can't count the times I've had to accept help just to survive.

We've moved 7 times...Many of my possessions have been sold and pawned for food..Others were broken in moving mishaps..The moment I let go of something, 2 things happen..

1. the person who gave it to me dies and I need to hold onto a piece of them but can't..

2. i or someone else needs it and i no longer have it to help myself or anyone else..

These 2 beliefs have really messed up my life..We now live in a basement with inlaws because we have no home of our own...There isn't much room and no closet space...

I know I have to let go but I just can't! I just can't let go of things and I can't seem to get organized..

I need help!

I know what you mean. I'm losing my home today and I've been out of full-time work for three weeks. We'll be staying at our landlords new apartment for a couple of weeks trying to figure out where we'll wind up for jobs. It isn't easy. Two things help me gt by Matthew 6:25-34 is one. The second is the knowledge that as long as I have a place to sleep at night without getting rained on I'm doing OK.

I will keep you in my prayers. Feel free to PM me if you just want to vent a little.
