[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Early stages of hoarding. Typically hoarders don't reach the level we see on television until there has been a triggering, traumatic event - a loss of a loved one, lengthy unemployment, health issues. I would not be surprised if your husband's illness progressed dramatically during a very stressful time. Get him into hoarding-specific counseling PRONTO.[/quote] OP, having grown up with a hoarder, I'd have to agree. I would seek out a counselor for yourself first. Do NOT confront him or make him watch Hoarders. Confrontation makes it worse. He may have OCD, depression, or ADHD and may need medication to help regulate this impulse. But he needs to be on board. I would consult a therapist with expertise in the field b/f you do anything or talk to him: http://www.behaviortherapycenter.com/BehaviorTherapyCenter/What_is_Compulsive_Hoarding.html And God Bless, I know how frustrating this can be.[/quote]
