[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ sorry, hit send too quickly. The PP who said that she’d be homeless if she decided never to speak to us again is absolutely right. She is not “useless” but she is “helpless” in a way. She cannot function to help herself with basic necessities of life. That is our problem. It’s not about just being neat and tidy at all. It’s a much larger issue.[/quote]
Are there adequate resources to provide for both her and your parents?

I think the situation you’re facing in terms of your sister’s capabilities is more clear now, but information about $ resources and maybe some more specific information about what you want/need to achieve would be helpful. Are you hoping to have her in a separate living situation from your parents? It sounds like she was able to respond to some limited modification of her illness- keep the hoarding in her bedroom. Do you think she can handle allowing a helper/housekeeper to keep the hoard from becoming hazardous? Papers, collections, etc are awful to deal with but it’s the food/bugs/trash that really makes things dangerous and damaging.[/quote]
