Maybe I'm being strange, but my dm seems to slowly be giving me everything do to with me from her home.

She's just dropped off another box that includes paintings done when I was 4, all my school photographs that she bought and even badges and pots I made as gifts for her when I was little.

It's really upset me, aibu to think these are her possessions not mine and she's being hurtful?

My DM did this last year while downsizing to a same numbered bed house

I was sad she didn't want to keep them but I couldn't really say anything as I couldn't articulate why. It's her mementos of my childhood I suppose. I guess she thinks they're my mementos of my childhood. I can see why previous posters are split between YANBU and YABU. I'm on the YANBU side because I felt the same way.
