The most worrisome thing to me would be the son’s willingness to go back to an immature, vindictive girlfriend more than once. That is the biggest red flag I see.

I really object to calling the girlfriend immature and vindictive. That’s the OP’s opinion but I’m sure the son doesn’t feel that way, and I’m sure the girl’s parents don’t feel that way. These are two kids. Kids fight and break up, get back together and it doesn’t make either of them bad or even immature (unless you feel all 17 year olds are immature, then I might agree).

I think the mother should ask for the stuff back. Girl is probably scared of OP and she’d just give it back.

But I’ve spent the day watching the hurricane. It’s very likely I’m going to lose everything as my household is in a flimsy storage facility in Florida. Yep, the stuffed animals, the Dorothy dress, the pictures all likely gone. And we will survive. Even my kids are fine with it although they would like to have their Brownie vests with all the patches, their Christmas stockings, even their prom dresses. I’m remarkably calm about it. My kids are safe and that’s what really matters.
