Bright,
You can't put your life on hold. If your storage shed is rotting and falling apart, then tear it down and get rid of it. You don't want termites becoming a next door neighbor. If your h returns, he can build a new one, but the old one sounds beyond repair, so get rid of it. It if will help, take a photo of the shed for memory sake and then get rid of the shed. Your yard will look much nicer when it is all said and done, you'll be far happier not looking at it going down hill.

As for the garage, in time, you'll get the clean up bug and start looking at the stuff in there. I know you don't want to deal w/it because much of the stuff probably belongs to your h, but at some point, you will need to address the stuff. One of the things that I have found is that getting the stuff up off the floor and on to shelves helps me deal w/what to keep and what to toss out.

Bright, your family wants to see you move on w/your life and be happy. Right now, they don't see that. They don't understand that it takes time to heal and divorce is a big step and you are the only one that can make the decision to move forward and do something about your situation. Your family loves you and are concerned about you. I don't think you've lost another support person...but I do think that they are frustrated and do not understand that it takes time.

Congratulations on the run. Sorry to hear about BIL's situation, but maybe the relationship had run it's course and they found out that they weren't happy living as a couple. It's better to find that out now than get married and then discover things that do not enjoy about each other later on.

Bright, if the shed is in bad shape, tear it down. It's just a building and it's time to let it go. It will probably cost you more to repair it than to just let it go. I'm sure that whatever you have stored in there can be moved to your garage.
