Hoarding...
Was watching Hoarders. I just feel so bad for everyone involved.
My mom and dad were hoarders when I was a child. My mom got a lot better as she got older and stopped drinking. Though she still has clutter issues. My dad never did got bet. His hoarding got so bad that mom and I moved out and years later, the city condemned his house.
Because I grew up in that environment, I became a pack rat and a clutter bug. I got therapy and now I know how to keep my home clean and de-cluttered.
Sometimes I still feel myself wanting to hang on to stuff that no longer serves me. But I use the techniques I learned and most of the time I'm able to let go.
So I really do feel for the people on Hoarders who are struggling to let stuff go. Compulsive hoarding is a mental health issue. And once your mind gets set on something, well logic dosen't always work.
