unico_love | More of my Things Missing and Destroyed... (Reply)

I hate helping my mother sort through my brother's things, because I just find even more of my stuff destroyed or lost (such as cases to my dvd's that are very beat up by him, and the disc simply lost along with many other missing discs). I talk about this often, it just seems that I'm constantly finding out about more and more things he stole from me. It feels like half of my possessions in terms of books/dvd's/vhs tapes were stolen by him. Not all at once, but in increments. A couple years ago he took a garbage bag and stuffed a lot of my things into it to take, but my mother stopped him and had me come pick out my things from what he was trying to steal. He went ahead and took it all later, anyway. I don't even want to look through my stuff to see what's missing because it's too late for me to anything about it now. If I come across something salvageable, that's great, but I certainly can't replace all (or most) of what I lost through him. I get really sentimentally attached to people and things I have memories of and I don't like to dispose of anything, so it's rather upsetting. I don't feel the need to buy or own things usually, as long as I have access to certain things, but I don't like things that I really like getting ruined... I guess I'll try to use this as a lesson in becoming less attached to material possessions. A natural disaster could destroy my possessions, too. Things like that just happen in normal life.
