Do you know a hoarder?

I mean the real deal: animals or possessions to the point of crazy. I'm watching Confessions: Animal Hoarding on Netflix and it's well out there.

i watched that show during one of my wife's blood infusions.... they kept playing episode after episode.. soon she's like "i get the point" and them i'm all "oh no, there's just no way in time and space you could do it to this level..." she winked and goes "when i feel a little better... hide! :P
I do.
Shes my mother in law.
She occasionally works on getting rid of things, but after she does she buys and finds soooo much more.
She and her husband have a 3000 square foot house and usually you cant even sit down unless you move a pile of something.

@nonsensiclesnail how does her husband feel?
@Cavedweller Hard to say. He is not allowed to have opinions.

@Cavedweller exactly. I've been in intensive therapy and still can't pinpoint the trigger.
@dumpstermeow i was trying to be supportive 😥

@dumpstermeow I use exposure therapy cognitive behaviour therapy. Works for some of my problems but not all.
My mom. It saddens me but there’s nothing I can do to help her.
@Cavedweller anything of sentimental value, home furnishings, clothes, shoes, craft and sewing supplies, furniture, food

Everything and anything really.

@ProdigalSummer does she live on her own?
@Cavedweller my brother still lives with her, but it’s grown worse since my dad died 3 years ago.

My little sister was on her way when we were kids, she wouldn't even let Mom throw out lollypop sticks.
Cavedweller · 46-50, F
@ScrewThisImDone but she's ok now?

Mostly, still has some trouble letting stuff go, though.

@SStarfish what's your choice, objects or animals or both?
Clothes and packing materials

No animals, but I'm a just few stacks of books and piles of clothing away. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard I recently had to cull my book and clothing collection. It was really kind of painful but I'm glad I did. There's so much more room.
