<human>: I cut contact with my Step-Father a year ago. He has been divorced from my mom for sometime is in neither of our lives. I am going through all my storage to see what I can keep or donate. My Step-Father was a successful screenwriter in his day and he gave me everything to me his old original scripts, tapes of him discussing with (famous) directors about what to write and how it can be shot, pictures of him and famous people, books signed personally to him, etc. I DO NOT WANT ANY OF IT AND WISH I HAD THE BALLS TO THROW IT ALL AWAY, but My conscience is telling me that the right thing to do is just to give it back to him. My boyfriend thinks that that is an awful idea because it'll send the message that i would like to open contact, which is the EXACT opposite of what I want to do. What is the smartest way to handle this?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I came across memorabilia my step-father/rapist gave to e. I DON'T want any of it, but I feel the right thing to do is give it back? Should I give it back or throwaway?
