8/11 Mom has hoarded since my grandmother died. Sometimes I feel like really I was raised by my grandparents and now I’m left taking care of my mother. Only she doesn’t want to be taken care of. Or does she? She’s so young to be acting the way she does, but she’s left the house …

Over the past few days since the 20/20 package aired, I have been trying to grapple with the idea that I am not alone. I am the 44 year old daughter and only child of OCD parents. My mother’s obsession is with hoarding, rage and hand-washing. My father was obsessed with work & money. I …

8/11 My mom saves newspapers because she says someday she’s going to clip things out of them she wants. She has huge stacks of them throughout the house and actually pays to store more in a storage unit. She also saves magazines and old catalogues. She’s got Christmas catalogues from more than 10 years ago …

I didn’t even realize there were others. Of course, I should have…but I’m guessing none of us talked about it. I still don’t know how I should talk about it. My mom’s sick. She is and always has been. I felt like my home was something out of a horror film. Driving by the home …

She hoards things like Seamstress material painting gear, …

Maybe it wouldn’t be so painful if I didn’t remember the “good ol’ days” when I was a little girl, six years old, having friends over for birthday parties, having the whole family over at Christmas for a big meal prepared by Mom and then singing Christmas carols before we opened presents. I don’t know …
