To have thrown away some of daughters stuff?

daughter left home for university in 2016. She came back for 18 months in 2020. Then she left in 2021 and hasn’t been home since. She has lived abroad ever since. When she left, if you were to look at her bedroom, it would look as if she had just popped to the bathroom. She did not clear anything away and the place was a shit tip. Over the last few days I have been through everything that was left here and I’ve thrown away about four bin bags worth of rubbish. Everything that is important has been left here stored under her Ottoman bed. She’s currently in Australia and told me on our last phone call that she had no plans to ever come back. I still feel bad for binning some of her crap. Talk me down.

Maybe they'd like OP to visit THEM? You've added a scenario that was never mentioned

As I say, I think OP has left out a bunch of info here

Do you know what’s lost on people here - she is the least sentimental person I know! Things have been shoved under the bed out of laziness. I know her. I get that won’t come across here/,

I don't really understand why you're asking if you're being unreasonable, then.

Because she doesn’t want to come back?

@yourenotkidding l say throw it all out. Old make up ? Out. Old underwear ? Out. Clothes ? Out
My daughter laughed at me when I had kept some of her stuff. She was in Australia for 4 years. And now lives in Spain. I forgot to mention that I also got her CAT !
