Hello,
I am a 23 year old daughter to a hoarder. I am very very new to coming to terms with this. To tell you the truth, my younger sister suffers from a very serious eating disorder, and my family’s focus and concern has been on her.
We gave up on my father years ago. I know that sounds horrible and I don’t mean to be insensitive the this very serious and painful disorder that effects so many families. I felt forced to leave my father’s home at 16 and he has refused any professional help.
I can’t watch any of those shows on TV. I will pass one while channel flipping, and my heart will start to pound and I feel like I’m going to throw up.
Is there anyone I could maybe just start talking to about this with? Just maybe trade stories? I have been so quiet for so long, I really don’t even know where to start. I do see a therapist off an on, but I would really appreciate some support from people who have gone through something similar.
Thanks.
