[quote=Anonymous]My parents are hoarders, I am close to them and talk to them every day or every few days but I don't visit them at their house.  My sister is morbidly obese and while she is a wonderful person she definitely makes bad decisions re men that I can't support but I just keep my opinions to myself.  She also seems to be displaying some hoarding tendencies which break my heart because now she has small children, the cycle is repeating itself.  But I remain close to her as well and speak to her often.

In extended family, I have an alcoholic uncle and drug addicted cousin, both of whom have had trouble with the law and are a major embarrassment to me, and both were a nightmare at my wedding in the late 90s.  I no longer speak to them, they have nothing to add to my life whatsoever and not speaking to them really has no negative consequences for me.

My inlaws extended family has the regular family fighting and some serious mental illnesses, but overall my DH and I consider ourselves pretty lucky.  If I had a magic wand and could change only one thing, it would be my parents hoarding.[/quote]
