Watched one tonight and about puked. Why was the one woman not arrested for animal abuse for the cat that died from breathing in crap? It died right there on the curb.
In the "old days" most(?) people didn't have lots of things. That's how I remember it. I didn't know anyone with this disorder. Doesn't mean they didn't exist tho'. I guess.
Its a mental illness, but Ill damned if I can figure out how they can live like that and be ok with it. The one mentioned above where the cat died...it was awful.
I can't watch the shows that deal with animal hoarding. Jesus. Freaks me out. I do know someone who hoards. Actually, I know three people who hoard. I used to be married to one; a friend of mine is, and the guy I live with is too, but that stays in his shop, thank God.
I'm around, WW. My juggling act is a little intense these days. I am hoping that before I leave this planet, I can get my daughter grown and out on her own, and maybe live *alone* and in my very own space where I just have to take care of my *own* shit instead of juggling my work, my play, my appointments with the schedules of other people, at least some of which don't even freakin' live with me.
I'm retired, but the responsibilities seem to never end. lol. There is a very small window between getting the children grown (and educated) and when the grandchildren appear. Make sure you take advantage of that small bit of time. It's the best advice I can offer. Luv you.
I think its a blessing when one becomes a hermit. Dennis and I just putter around now. No kids. No grandkids. No inlaws. Just us and the roomies who keep to themselves and are as hermity as we are. The time we have left...we just do our thang by ourselves. Suits us just fine.
I love being around my family Kris. Especially now, since I retired. Now I do what I want when I want how I want and luxuriate in my grandsons attentions. LOL On the other hand Years back it was a real pain trying to juggle everything and stay sane as a single parent. You have my sympathies, but if you made it this far, you will make it all the way. LOL
Some of those hoarders do not comprehend that hoarding is a sickness just like smoking or any other addiction. They honestly do not see anything wrong with the way they live.
Kind of like anas and mias. They see fat chicks in the mirror...they dont see this bone rack staring back at them. Its really sad and disgusting all at the same time. WW, I wont watch animal hoarding either. The show in the OP was not for animals..it just happened that she had some cats. All were saved except that one.
