Apparently the OP has so much stuff that the step-mom couldn't tell the difference between what was junk and what was Christmas presents. I'm not saying what she did was right. But I try to look more into what is written in these FMLs. It shouldn't have come into being known as a pack rat. And I know what hoarder is, my grandparents are the ones! I'm tempted to throw away their stuff because they are living in hazardous conditions and probably won't even notice because they had so much stuff. But it's not my place. They are the only ones that can help themselves.

82- or she just felt like being a bitch.

If she's anything like my mother (which I'm guessing she is; mine has thrown away my belongings without asking many times- homework, projects, things belonging to my friends, etc.) then she won't feel obligated to do jack about it.

37- If my parents ever threw stuff away, I'd be pissed. Luckily they never did that to me, though they deemed reading my journals as acceptable. They used the excuse "Oh, we thought it was, your English homework! "

It is incredibly frustrating, especially after politely asking her several times to talk to me before throwing away/going through my stuff. Apparently, ain't nobody got time for that.

My dad gave away my dogs without telling me then wouldn't tell me who they have them to I never got them back

There's a button for that. No need to restate it.

There's a button for that, you know.
