I'm in shock right now. It's a horrible situation no matter how you look at it...but ESPECIALLY this time of year.
I don't have a great relationship with my mother. We don't talk much anymore...and she's not my favorite person in the world. But I would never wish something like this on ANYBODY...much less my own mother.
She's upset because she lost all the Christmas presents she bought (not to mention the rest of her possessions). I made sure to remind her that possessions are just possessions. They can be replaced. Everything that was important got out.
I'm so sad right now.
