21-year-old woman refuses to move back to parent’s home after they betray her trust by giving childhood bedroom to her cousin, they tell her she’s overreacting: “Your cousin is the one who needs help right now”

Hey there, people of the internet. Moving is one of the most stressful things to do in life. It's up there with divorce and getting married. It's a handful of work, planning, money, and organization that can take weeks to properly figure out. Depending on where you're moving, if you need to buy furniture or other amenities, if you can properly transport all the things you need, it's all just a big headache to try and avoid as much as possible. When you're moving out of your parent's home for the first time, things are easier. They can keep the stuff you don't want, and you don't have to worry about throwing out precious items that you may want one day.

In the story below, the protagonist didn't get as lucky. The second she moved out of her parent's home, they immediately got rid of all her things, donated it so that her cousin could comfortably move in. Thank goodness my parents don't have a lot of other family living around them, so a situation like this seems highly unlikely.

I know that for myself, my parent’s home and attic is stuffed with my sentimental belongings, clothes I stopped wearing years ago, and even a giant teddy bear that was gifted to me when I was a small child. It’s important to hold onto these memories if you have the means.
