I had to put " Her " away for awhile. Not for the reason one might think. My SO is fine with her present's and we go out often together. We have quite a bit of fun when we do acually. But my SO is moving in with me and we in turn are moving together wiht my mother while she builds a house. So for the next 4ish months Natahsa will be put in boxes and sent to storage.
I'm not complaining about it and I have no real intention of " Coming out " to my mother. There is no need for her to know as it doesn't effect our relationship. Her and I are two peas in a pod. The apple CLEARLY did bnot fall far from the tree with me.
What I am really writing for is that packing her up was really very emotional for me. When I started the process I put together the boxes and then off to the closet to get the clothing et al. No issue so far. Then when I put them in the wardrobe box it just sort of hit me. SHE is going back in the box. Almost the same box she was in for 40+ years. This time it is for only 4 months and she comes right back out. Plus I can go to the storage unit and get dressed up and go out if I want anytime I want. So that isn't an issue. It was the box. an acual object and all that it represented.
Don't worry about the dressing around the house bit. I have nott done that in a long time. I get dressed up to go out. If I am just going to sit around the house there is no point for me. Then I'll put on my robe and flip flops and call it good.
Funny thing that box. Once you get out of it it is hard to get back in. Evn if it is only temeraroly nad it is just across town when you wnt to get out.
