He is doing the right thing to help her, even though it is hard, and he will be able to sleep at night knowing he did the right thing. I am sure you will have some special brews waiting for him when he gets home. ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-58425870587853749772017-12-01T09:09:47.132-05:002017-12-01T09:09:47.132-05:00I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

I am not excusing her behaviors or lack of good decision making, however; the undiagnosed mental illness factor can play a part in both of those aspects of life.

So many newspapers, dolls, and other items. Could have definitely been an episode of Hoarders. When we went through their chest freezer, we found food dated 1964. Canning jars in the basement that had rotten metal lids. They were so bad, the lids were brittle. My grandmother wanted to bring the food with us. Ummm, that was a no. After 3 huge dumpsters, we still had a U-Haul truck filled and a trailer full behind our car. I feel for your hubs. Not a fun time.

I have one stuffed animal, the one I got when I was eight and son wore out before he was three. If he does not want it, I will take a picture and throw it in the trash. I keep books but do not hoard. I think I would have insisted hubs go buy a respirator type face mask. I hope this does not make him ill. And, let brother unload the junk. I am always amazed the things people need other people to buy for them, things I don't have or need. <br /><br />Not hiring her because of her age is a possibility. But, she may not be willing to work at WM or fast food where they will hire her. Some of the people in these jobs are able or swift, yet they fill the job's needs. <br /><br />You have done your share. I would unload that stuff on the ground, get in truck, and turn it over to brother to get it and sister situated. Hopefully, hubs won't be worn to a nub and have problems driving. I would insist he get a good night's sleep somewhere. I wonder if his standards in lodging and eats will suit her. Probably not.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-28107729801900513882017-11-30T16:39:47.102-05:002017-11-30T16:39:47.102-05:00I'm so sorry.

We all stepped up to do what we could. It’s hard on any family when someone deteriorates. I also have a niece who is a hoarder. My SIL didn’t tell us til this last year. I think she needed to unburden herself. We had no idea! It’s admirable of you and your Hubs and BIL to step up to the plate. I will say this though... don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t work out. It is so, so hard to keep going.<br />DebbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-77767914269414159342017-11-30T12:27:02.722-05:002017-11-30T12:27:02.722-05:00oh my!

The hoarding is obviously a mental illness, and she may have more than that if clinically diagnosed by a physician.
