Re: Advice

[(Anonymous)]

This past February my step-mom divorced my dad out of the blue. Dad had been having some health issues and basically she didn't want to take care of him anymore (without getting into too much of a long discussion). Step-mom and her kids took everything out that same day leaving dad with some things. Dad sank into depression, more health issues, and he died September 3rd.

Dad's brother, my uncle, had gotten everything out of dad's house after he died so the condo could be sold off. I asked my uncle recently if dad still had any Christmas ornaments or stuff. Uncle said there were only a few wreaths so I assume my step-mom has the ornaments.

My question is if I should attempt to reach out to find out if she still has any of his ornaments or not? Should I just leave it alone and say c'est la vie?

If it's important to you and there are memories attached, I don't see why not.

Honestly I doubt she'd be petty enough to hang on to some old ornaments if she happens to have them.

Depends. How good was your relationship with your step-mom prior to this? I'm assuming not great, since you haven't been in touch. Are you close with her kids or do you want to be? Because keeping on your step-mom's good side might be important for that alone, if they're minors. And lastly, how important are these Christmas ornaments? If they have sentimental value, then I could see making the effort to contact her and ask (extremely nicely) if she knows where they are or if you could have a few as a keepsake. If they're just non sentimental ornaments, then honestly, I'd forget about it.

It won't hurt to ask. You don't talk with her much anyways. Either she says no or she says yes. :)

My guess is that if she divorced a dying man so that she needn't take care of him, then cleaned everything out of their shared home on leaving, she's probably determined to hang onto everything she took. Unless it only had meaning to your dad and you--in that case, I'm guessing she's tossed it already.

I suppose it's worth a try, but I would expect the worst. It might be better to start afresh with your own new traditions.

Doesn't sound like you've got anything to lose, but like another anon said, don't set your expectations high. :/ I hope you get those ornaments, though.

That sounds like a rough situation and I'm sorry you/your family has gone through it.

Going to have to agree with this. :/
