Dear Queenie,
When I went away to college I left a lot of my things in my parents’ house. While I was away they got divorced and my father moved out and put all his things into storage somewhere.
He also took all my things with him and put them in storage too and now he won’t tell me where they are because he thinks I might tell my mother where he has his things stored and she might somehow get to them and do something to them for spite.
Queenie, how can I get my things back?—Divorcees’ daughter
Dear Daughter,
Ask your father to arrange a separate storage space for your things – or make the arrangements yourself – and have all your things moved into your storage unit.
Your father will have to arrange for the moving, or do it himself, if he will not let you know where your things are currently stored, but that is the price he must pay for not trusting you enough to let you know where he is keeping his own things.
