i'm helping my cousin and aunt next week with sorting some of their own stuff, at least they sound like they're willing to get rid of it, but they do seem like they're going to insist on trying to sell it online rather than just toss it. my cousin told me today he wants me to stay over for two weeks to do it all, i told him flat out no we'll do it in one day or not at all. i'm fully prepared to just walk out on them if they're wasting my time though. they've already started this narrative in their head about how they need me to come over to get cleaned up, so inevitably when they fail to clean up it's my fault. i've emotionally accepted i may need to cut them off entirely after next week. it sucks but that 1% chance they see the light and just let me make six trips to salvation army and get rid of their shit keeps me going. but like you said if they insist on just moving boxes around and wasting time, i'll just bounce. i have infinite better things to do than fuck around in a dusty house.
