[quote=Anonymous]She's a hoarder, probably hoarding trash because of her mobility issues. Just discarding things and not picking up because she physically cannot move around, and it has spiraled out of control. I am a child of hoarders. I know.

Your DH should insist on coming inside, why does he need to be invited in? The fact that she will not let service provider in is a HUGE red flag. This time it is the Internet provider, next time it could the HVAC, the plumber or electrician, meaning she could end up without heat or AC, electricity or running water. My parents let it get so bad they didn't have running water. The actress Alicia Witt's parents wouldn't let in the HVAC repair person, and they both died of hypothermia in their own home.

Your DH should tell his mother he will NOT hold any judgment, won't get upset with her, but that he is entering the house. If he has a key, I would go when he knows she isn't home. The only way to be sure is to see inside. Please help her. [/quote]
