[quote=Anonymous]My mother is a hoarder too. It started when I was about two years old. I'm in my 40s now. (Depression and ADHD probably contribute to her tendencies too.) Unfortunately with hoarders, confrontations (like how you would do an intervention for a drug user or alcoholic) only makes them more intransigent. There's nothing you can practically do unless she wants to help herself. Basically, my mother will die in a pile of crap that I will have to sort out after she's dead. The sad thing is that I see where her tendencies (not the hoarding) but the inability to make a orderly home has affected me. (I have depression and ADHD as well.) I would get her in touch with a financial counseling organization to help her with the finances. Your mom might accept that kind of help.[/quote]
