07/01 A Secret Inside: Extreme Hoarding
Quote From: mahamsterMy mother was always but it got worse after my dad passed away when I was grown. It was so bad there were most of the rooms in her house you could not even enter. I feel sad for those children in that situation. I always remember cleaning when my mother was at work. I felt responsible for my mother. My dad and I tried through things away when she would bring things home from work. It was horrible. I think she must have had OCD. I don't think any child should have to live in a situation like that. It's better to take them out of the home until the parents is ready to receive ongoing therapy and medication. I keep pictures of my mother's house to this day, 10 years after the last time we cleaned it up to remind myself how bad it was so I won't ever get that bad. It truly is very sad. I grew up in the same type of household. When I was nine, my grandma passed away and my mom got really depressed. The hoarding began after my brother and I left. Her house is so cluttered and I have asked her to get help so many times and she won't. There aren't many people I can talk to because she doesn't want anyne to know!! It's a terrible way to live.
