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.

Word...
-Hoarding... It is not about the stuff... That is merely a symptom of a life threatening mental illness.
((Hugs)) Glad it is over for both of us! I have to admit, I am still contemplating it a bit, but not in a ruminating way, just in a 'take the lessons to be learned, and move on (if there are any) way'.
HOOOOORAYYYYYY! It was kind of a sad day for me, though. I'm glad it's over.
