[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also grew up in a hoarder house — like the kind you see on TV.  Fridge with rotten food (we’d store food outside in the winter, I don’t remember what we did in the summer), animal feces, trash, mildew, just filth everywhere.  We were lucky if we had clean clothes.  To this day, I am terrified of bugs because I would wake up with roaches crawling on me.  If I tried to clean, I would get hit and screamed at, so it was like being trapped.  I was eventually able to keep my own room neat, but even that was hard.  The house would be cleaned probably once a year when social services would get a report and check, but we were always too scared to say anything. It was a nightmare.  I am obsessively neat (compulsively), and often host and invite people over because I was never able to have anyone over growing up.  (I was also bullied relentlessly because in middle school people knew.  I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.)[/quote]

I am so sorry. I’m sending so much love to you. [/quote]
