Hi all, I'm stressing very heavily about a situation regarding my mom and am hoping for advice. Let me begin by saying that I know getting rid of stuff behind a hoarders back is not a good thing and can cause more problems. Well those problems are here.

Long before I was born my mom was part of the MLM Partlylight and she kept all her unsold products in one of my closets. A few years ago I wanted to clear out my closet to have a place for my craft stuff, so I asked her if I could get rid of them, she said no. Later I asked her if I could move them to the attic, again she said no. It was just so frustrating because the candle seemed so cheap and worthless but she was convinced that they were worth a lot of money and that we would use them one day.

Well I got so frustrated one day that they took up so much room that my brother and I threw most of them out. I kept all the glass candle holders and one box of each style of candle, put it all in the attic, and threw the rest out.

Now years later, I'm finally doing a big clean out of my room and she mentioned needing to find a place for all her candles and that they were worth like $10k. I know that's not true, I checked, but she is obviously very protective of these candles that she doesn't know I threw out.

I feel awful. I know I shouldn't have, but it was just so infuriating how stubborn she had been about not allowing me to even move them out of my room that I did it out of anger and exhaustion. I'm so afraid of how mad she will be when she finds out most of them are gone and fear she will never truly trust me again.

My brother has volunteered to take all the blame but I would still feel bad knowing I was a part of it. Any advice is truly appreciated 🙏
