Not My Hoarding Mother

My name is Lisabeth, and I am the adult child of a compulsive hoarding mother. The take away from my journey is that the hoard is merely a symptom of a life threatening, relationship-destroying mental illness. An illness that often includes behaviors from addiction, child/domestic abuse, and personality disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder. Stay, read, and please, by all means, intervene if you see a child being raised in the shadow of the hoard.

Some memes shared with me by other adult children of hoarders...

Occasionally I receive memes, pictures, and the like from adult COHs like me. Some via email, some via other venues... and some are relevant, some irreverent humor, and some directly relate to the hoarder him or herself.

Sharing several tonight...
