[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a purger who is married to a hoarder that comes from a family of hoarders. My MIL, who is very low income, actually pays to ship crap to my DH. By crap, I mean old boxes of playing cards, old sweatshirts that don't fit any of us, boxes filled with paper (not kidding -- she once shipped a box filled with paper that had random notes and doodles written by my husband when he was in school), broken Christmas ornaments....the list goes on. Whenever I see a box in the mail from them it makes my blood boil. What makes it worse is we live in a very small apartment with 2 children and a cat. We don't have room for all their shit.[/quote]

When she sends a box, go through it and make sure there is nothing in there that you want/need.   If there is anything that someone else may need/use?  Donate that.    Can anything be recycled?   Put that in your recycle bin.   Toss everything else.   You are under no obligation to keep other people's junk.   Don't feel any guilt about it.[/quote]
