Comments For "A Tale of Hoarding: Honor Thy Father & Mother"
What do you do when the hoarder is your child? My son is 32 and lives with me. He can't afford to live on his own and I would be afraid for him to, because when he did have his own apartment it was horrible. I am surprized that he didn't get kicked out. Now, his bathroom and bedroom are constantly "full". I can understand how "stuff" replaces people because he has few friends and is very lonely. I just don't know what to do for him. He doesn't want me to clean his room. I've cleaned his bathroom a few times recently - whether he liked it or not. He actually seem relieved! But, I can see that its getting back to where it was before. I can't keep cleaning for him. Is there anything that can be done?
