[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They were important to your parent, but they did not have the cognitive ability to find them again or remember where they were. [/b]I'm glad you got them back, OP.[/quote] This is the wrong thing to say to a child of hoarders. Signed, a COH[/quote] PP you replied to. Why? I am the wife of a hoarder. I know my husband cares about the stuff he cannot sort. Hoarding is a mental illness that is linked to anxiety, autism and ADHD. The person does not have the executive function to sort through their stuff (ADHD). They are irrationally attached to their material things and cannot let them go (autism). And when they are pushed to get rid of most of it, and keep only a small fraction, they get incredibly emotional disturbed (anxiety). I would appreciate getting your side of things, because to me, living with a hoarder, it's quite clear. [/quote]
