Hi! I do not know if this is the right place to ask this or not. My Mother passed away last October and we want to put her house on the market. It is a disaster from the years of hoarding, and lack of cleaning and disrepair etc. It is in a beautiful neighborhood with with very high home values. We have gone through and grabbed most valuables and need to have an estate sale for some very nicew things that are left. My question though is when we have an appraisal done should we bother doing a serious deep clean? The house is so neglected that there is no way we can even afford to make any improvements. We do not expect to get even a 1/5 of what a properly maintained home would get, but we are not sure what is worth doing and what is not. Does anyone have any insight or experience with this?
I just know that this group will help me find a way to forgive my stepmother who was the hoarder in my and my sister’s life, and who made indelible marks on my life. i still struggle with the PTSD that her hoarding and cruelty caused from my childhood.
I just want to get this off my heart. My mother hoards and has done so for well over 40 years, she blames me for her non existent relationship with her grandchildren. Obviously, they can’t visit her and I have offered on numerous occasions for her to come over at a reasonable time to visit with them due to her paranoia she will not come unless it is dark out. My son behaves very similar to her and finds her too child like in her behavior. I attribute this to her lack of social interaction. In short I am tired of being blamed for a relationship she does not foster and her questioning my parenting skills because he does not like her. It’s hard to tell an eleven year old to respect their elder when they don’t show respect in return.
