[/i] My daughter is a professional organizer that deals with this kind of sickness. I would NEVER be able to work with people like that. No patience on my end for that kind of living. I love neat, clean, and everything in its place or my mind cannot operate on anything else. [/i]

My SIL is/was like this.She passed in January. For about 2 months before she died, I was going down there & helping her get rid of crap & cleaning things up. I could see what her future held. I knew there was no way any EMT or morgue could ever get in her house. She was finally put in a home for her remaining days. The mess is left to her husband. We have offered to come and help clean up the place. I guess he's doing it little by little. But, it is a sickness...sad,sad,sad.....

No one seems to think about ( the mom isn't) who is going to clean this up when she dies. I certainly wouldn't want to touch alot that.
There is nothing wrong with clutter.But when you can't find your bed or kitchen sink there is a problem!

My prayers go out for her and her child, and for those who used such offensive language in their comments - not to mention their insensitivity.
I do not find this sutiation funny in the least. I thing it is very, very sad. I am not sure where the line between live and let live and the need for intervention lies, but I do believe she has crossed it.
That being said, I'd better get off this computer and do some cleaning of my own.

Unbelieveable....and I agree the language in the comments were extremely offensive unfortunately it's the way many people talk normally these days but the most important thing to remember is they are allowed to vote.!

There is a TV show on TLC about hoarding and it's really amazing at the number of people that have this problem. They will ask for help then refuse to throw or give anything away. There are also animal hoarders that are even worse. They keep a house full of cats, dogs and one even had 2,000 rats. It is very pitiful for some one to get in that condition. I really feel for them.

Reading that made me feel so sad--for the Mom who obviously has significant problems, but also for the adult child who (from the tone of their narrative) seems to have mental health/anger problems of their own. My heart hurts for both of them!
