victoriaj, just remember this: TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY, YESTERDAY IS HISTORY, TODAY IS A GIFT, THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED THE PRESENT.
What happened in your prior home is over and can't be done over. All you can do now is learn from that and try hard to not have your next home be that way. You can't let that past experience live rent free in your head. You're a wonderful person and you deserve wonderful things no matter how you feel right now.
The things you lost possession wise will soon be forgotten. Learn to cherish and care for those new important things that will now come into your life. Due to my cluttered life for the years I endured them I loss some precious things that belonged to my late DS alone with most of his baby pictures. The pain was unreal but I did it by not being responsible and all I can do now is make my life different and not let that happen again.
My home was my prison for over 5 years. Before that it was so clean and neat it would be compared to an operating room by my ex who was a Surgeon. That all ended when my depression set in and I become a recluse when not at work. I finally picked myself up with the help of this group and now know I will never go back to the point I was at before. I may not get to dust as I use to, but then again I don't want to be the totally cleanie I was before the depression and a slave to my home. I want to enjoy it and also be able to have company over again.
I know it's difficult to live with your Mom as it would be for me. A 2 week vacation with my Mom is very stressful and I find myself biting my tongue most of the visit. But it's not a forever thing. Soon you'll have a fresh start. Use this time to contemplate and prepare for that. We all need to use our past experiences whether bad or good ones as a learning tool.
Hugs
