Asking Eric: It’s Becoming Harder to Travel with One Set of Friends

The husband’s son has filled multiple home areas with belongings during a prolonged divorce, despite available local storage and family options, causing household strain.

  • A few years ago, a wife reports her husband’s son started storing equipment, tools, bikes, and more in their garage, attic, shed and basement, packing the garage to the ceiling.
  • Because the son is in an ongoing divorce, the couple initially felt badly for him when he first told them of his plight and said he could store some things.
  • The wife reports the husband’s son usually waits to bring more things when she is not home, despite having other family and friends in the local area he can ask.
  • R. Eric Thomas, advice columnist, suggested having a clear conversation and maybe reclaiming one zone—leaving the husband’s son the attic, shed, and basement but taking back the garage.
  • The son is expected to leave his marital home and possibly bring more stuff, so R. Eric Thomas advised he get a storage unit to manage his belongings.
