You may or may not know because it was in earlier stories, but both my parents were hoarders in different ways. My dad hoarded food, canned goods, etc. My mother hoarded everything, food, paper products, newspapers, and just 'stuff". They were both depression era kids who lived with poverty and hunger. My mother had a lot of very real mental health issues that went undiagnosed.
Living in that was terrible! I can't even tell you. Except I did write about it.
I won't watch Horarders...nope.can't, won't
