[quote=Anonymous]Love my 70+ yr old parents dearly. But my dad is a hoarder and my mom is an enabler. It was awful growing up living in a house of broken junk, sky high empty containers and piles of newspapers. its so bad I haven't visited in 3 years. I stay at a hotel or they come to me. Now that they are older, they are thinking of downsizing. But not donating or throwing out stuff -- they want me to take their junk. Moldy, dusty, broken 40 yr old junk. Yes, some was my old kid stuff - I asked them to donate it as they should have in 1989... I even volunteered to pay for haul away. My DD has severe asthma and allergies I can't even have it in my house or she starts wheezing. They are so offended and won't take no for an answer. How would you handle? I really do love them but am so over the hoarding... [/quote]
